Non-notable creature from a book. FusionMix 14:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Actually, it's a mythological creature referenced in an Encyclopedia of mythological creatures. Dlohcierekim 15:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

PS. Attests from here, here, and here. Other Google book hits were not visited. Dlohcierekim 16:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment. I see...hmm. I still don't think that it needs an article all to itself, perhaps there is a 'list of mythological creatures' article it could be merged into? FusionMix 16:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Possibly you're thinking of List of monsters? —Quasirandom (talk) 19:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Legendary creature covered in secondary sources -- that latter's pretty much the definition of notability. Or if you insist, of notability for fictional things. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

My rule of thumb is that if it's notable enough for a paper encyclopedia (which has size constraints), then it is notable enough for an unlimited electronic encyclopedia. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 19:58, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I pretty agree with that rule of thumb. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
