Only one source in the article, the Angelfire site, actually mentions Khaybat as a goddess, and it isn't an RS. None of the sources I have on hand—which include everything in the "works cited" section of the article on ancient Egyptian deities—mention such a deity. I've consulted other members of WikiProject Ancient Egypt (see the project talk page), and we've concluded it's almost certainly a fabrication. And even if we're wrong, Khaybat must surely be too obscure to pass notability guidelines. A. Parrot (talk) 23:38, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, the sources that say "Anubis' wife is never named" are referring to the "Tale of Two Brothers", in which a human named Anubis is one of the characters. The god Anubis did have at least one mythological consort, Anput, whose name is simply the feminine form of Anubis' name. There's nothing to exclude the possibility that Anubis had more than one goddess as a wife (Amun may have had as many as three over time) but there is simply no evidence for the existence of this wife of Anubis.

So I screwed up. Honestly, that probably isn't really news around here. Thanks for catching the error. The point of lack of clear notability of this name apparently still remains. Now, for all I know, there may be somewhere some sort of neopagan revival of old Egyptian mythology which has such a named character, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence on the page that this might be referring to such a revival of old Egyptian mythology, so I think we have to take it as a given that this is referring to the older stories about Egyptian mythology.
