[edit] Trishna

This was improperly and not completely posted to VfD. I'm finishing the process. No vote. —Mar·ka·ci:2005-02-13 15:00 Z

  • Delete - there is no such thing as Polish mythology and the name does not even sound western slavic. Unless anyone can confirm the existence of such phenomenon or state some reliable sources, it seems like some sort of a new-age rubbish. [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 12:57, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - more nonsense Brookie 17:52, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep — the claim that there's no such thing as Polish mythology is bizarre, and I found references on the web (e.g., 1 and 2. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:58, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per above Kappa 22:26, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, dictionary definition. Megan1967 00:43, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nonsense, hoax, whatever. Wyss 01:43, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as Mel Etitis said. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:57, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • I repeat: the hell? "Trishna" is a more common term than "Tawals", and thus it's more difficult to winnow the relevant info from Google, but it's there. Goddess of the dead from pre-Christian Poland (for a slightly vague definition of "Poland"). Keep. DS 22:27, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I'm very suspicious; the two links Mel Etitis found appear to be the only information on Trishna, and they are extremely brief and nearly identical. All other references are Wikipedia mirrors, and Wikipedia just copies one of those two sources. Jayjg (talk) 03:25, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • I know what you mean, but I'd not really expect to find many references on the Web to pre-Christian Polish minor deities... Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:10, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Out of interest, though, I've also found this (no mention of the names of the various deities, but at least it's further evidence (if evidence were needed, forsooth) that there's such a thing as Polish mythology, and that it contained deities of the kind referred to in the three articles under a VfD.

  • Delete, utter nonsense, no such thing as "Polish" mythology. JamesBurns 07:44, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Can someone explain this peculiar insistence on the part of some Users that Poland is unique in having no muthology? Is there some religious or other belief behind it? I've come across irrationality in other discussions, but this repeated blank repetition of a nonsensical claim is new to me (outside articles attracting fundemntalist religion and racist politics). What;s going on? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:17, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
