Devi Alkapuri

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I've tried to find a mythological figure who is the daughter of Kubera and Bhadra, either under this name or variants, or under different names. I can't. Nomination withdrawn the instant someone shows this isn't WP:MADEUP Shirt58 (talk) 01:34, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Probable Delete. It doesn't look like a hoax nor any more made-up than any other tale of any religion that one doesn't happen to believe in, but the sources are in no way reliable, and even if there were something, it looks rather too local for a full article. Iff there did happen to be RS shown to support, then redirect with or without selective merge might be appropriate (Meenakshi is the daughter of Kubera and Bhadra [1][2][3]). "Devi Alkapuri" could be epithetic (Devi of Alakapuri), or a local name as an aspect of another goddess, or...) ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 04:50, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, possibly speedy. I'm sorry - I looked everywhere. Google searched up to the 20th page, similar names, children and siblings of the mentioned other mythological people, books... absolutely nothing. I'm okay with having a page exist that's very likely made up, as it's unlikely that readers are going to search for it. However, I'm really not okay with having pages, especially ones that are often visited, mention and link to this topic. Therefore, I removed all the links pointing to this page, as I feel like this could be very misleading to users. If this is proven to not be WP:MADEUP, which I find unlikely, then we can add the links back, but right now I feel it's much more likely that this subject does not exist, and I think it's very important to not mislead readers.--SkyGazer 512 ^{What will you say? / What did I do?} 02:52, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Seems to be either WP:MADEUP or a figure of only local importance. I find it difficult to believe that an Indian religious figure could have any Aztec equivalent as stated, especially as that part implies that it was once known, but "its name had got erased due to the period of time.". The hand drawn illustration (by Samwel Debbarma from an ancient portrait of the Devi from the sculpture found in Pilak located in Tripura) doesn't inspire me either.--Auric talk 20:37, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
