[edit] Xocotl

Xocotl (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No such god. Someone is apparently confused with Xocotl Huetzi, the name of a festival. I can find no verification for this on Google Books except "The Dictionary of Gods and Goddesses, Devils and Demons", which does not seem especially reliable. Ptcamn (talk) 00:13, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Seems to have been an Otomi god (aka Otontecutli) very similar to Huitzilopochtli and subsequently assimilated. xocotl+otomi brings a few Google Books hits. In other words I find enough corroboration of the source you find doubtful to eliminate my doubts. --Dhartung | Talk 00:44, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I'll see that source and raise you four five that say it's a classification of fruit. Uncle G (talk) 01:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
    • This seems to suggest that it can also refer to a deity. Zagalejo^^^ 01:48, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
    • An article in the Gale Encyclopedia of Religion ("Sacrament: An Overview", p. 7957) refers to Xocotl as a "tree god". Zagalejo^^^ 02:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Well, this was one, but I'll go with the fruit. We don't have anything on the Otomi gods right now that I can tell. --Dhartung | Talk 04:56, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Dhartung. Shiva_eVolved 00:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, per above, and adequate sourcing in article, though could use expansion. Cirt (talk) 03:37, 14 December 2007 (UTC).
• Keep Sourcing and establishing notability is good. Expansion/cleanup would be good for this article too. PrestonH 04:12, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Cirt. Could use some expansion, but it's properly sourced, and has good potential. J-ſtan^Talk_Contribs 04:34, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
