There are no references here at all, I suspect this is actually the same as the page Djang'kawu, but an unresearched and misspelled version. Zaddikskysong (talk) 12:44, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Pretty clear the nominator is right, in which case could have been speedy A10'd. Whatever, it needs to go. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:14, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• No further comment I removed my earlier struck out comments - if anyone wants to resurrect my very convoluted confusion, fine, doesnt bother me - my comments were not relevent to this afd - spelling issues, and emphasis upon aspects of the sisters where a straight delete seems to miss the differences of the two articles.JarrahTree 15:28, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect and add sources and this alt spelling in the existing article. I have found quite a few sources with this spelling, such as here, here, and here. Also, I see new sources provided now in this one, so they should be integrated or added as further reading if not there already. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:40, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect / merge. I agree with Laterthanyouthink, actually. I'll put up my hand and say I've never actually nominated anything to get deleted or merged before, and I put this here because I knew people would discuss it here. It seems this is a spelling that's been used before in the literature, although the current literature, e.g. this NMA exhibition agrees with the version at Djang'kawu. I'm not sure how much good content there is in the text of this article, but it's worth looking up and at least adding the alt spelling to the existing article so people know to add content from those texts into the existing article. Interestingly the Yolngu Matha dictionary has 'Djan'kawu', but that's close to the existing/NMA version, perhaps they are variant spellings. Zaddikskysong (talk) 02:19, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, Zaddikskysong - this is the best place for discussion and more input. I sometimes do the same, when I'm not sure what the outcome will be. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:42, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
