In our discussion of Plants in Meitei culture, PB established that they believe the author synthesized a connection among all birds with Meitei culture and that what we'd need is sources saying "Birds in Meitei culture" is a discrete idea that has already been recognized by sources. While I was looking for sources on plants in Meitei culture, I was in Google Books. Here's what I got for birds: Google Books.
Not as clear as with plants or ethnobotany, but it's not nothing at all. Darkfrog24 (talk) 15:19, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing any sources in the first two pages that might be relevant here, could you clarify which, if any, you feel is relevant? Brusquedandelion (talk) 01:28, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Merge. Not every element of Meitei culture needs to have its own separate article when there is already page on Meitei culture where these segments can be merged to. Additionally, unless independent sources are discussing "Birds in Meitei culture" as a conjunct, such an article does not seem to be in the spirit of the notability rules/guidelines.

The nominator has not seen any sources on the topic of Birds in Meitei Culture or similar, and believes that the author of the article has patched it together from disconnected elements of Meitei folklore. If multiple, independent, reliable sources can be found on the topic of Birds in Meitei culture, then this is a reasonable article topic. Otherwise, it's just sparkling synthesis.

  • Merge to Meitei culture; had a look and I just don't see the sources. This isn't about birds in Meitei culture, it's just a bunch of Meitei folk tales and myths that happen to involve some kind of bird. The OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument is also rather weak; the Chinese mythology article is about a much more prominent mythology with (more importantly) more sources, and the ravens one is about a specific kind of creation tale as far as I can tell.
