The result of the debate was Delete. There's not much to keep but feel free to create a page saying eau is French for water! kingboyk 02:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This was one of the 50+ Polynesian mythology articles submitted in a big batch (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ahoeitu). After much discussion at that afd, I'm re-submitting all of the items individually. Some of them may be keepers, most of them will be deletable. I'm deferring to editors such as User:Kahuroa and User:Bucketsofg who have been looking onto these articles as to which is which. If looking for onther online verification, please note that many of these originally were sourced via the extremely unreliable Encyclopedia Mythica - if this is the only verification it can be discounted.

- Delete unless verified. See Talk:Havoa - not a Polynesian story. Kahuroa 10:00, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Kahuroa Bucketsofg 14:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: if deleted, a redirect to water might be useful. — sjorford (talk) 16:15, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- keep as disambiguation page, find sources for the myth information. This page does have some usefull information about the translation of the word water. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.57.8.158 (talk • contribs)
- comment. If we were able to find the sources of this myth, we'd be arguing to keep it. The problem is that there are several Polynesian myth articles that seem to have become so garbled by someone that we can't figure out where it's come from. Bucketsofg 22:35, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- and this one's not even Polynesian at all - but maybe the reference to eau (water) should be kept as per Sjorford above. Kahuroa 23:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
