Comment. The article was created in 2007 with an external link from Encyclopedia Mythica which, however, was blacklisted as a source for Wikipedia in 2010, at which point the link was removed. I can find just one earlier source, the Encyclopedia of Russian and Slavic Myth and Legend, published in 1998. The information given there is one sentence, just different enough to argue that this article is acceptable paraphrase rather than copyright violation.

Keep as per PWilkinson. I too searched, only reference I found was Wilkinson's. I realize there needs to be several independent sources, but in this case, given the article is only two lines long, contains essentially one fact based on one reliable source, with no copyright issues as Wilkinson said, and does not seem amenable to POV or spam issues, and could be a useful tidbit of information for people studying creation myths, or the Turgus peoples of eastern Siberia, I say let's keep it.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:30, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
