Contested PROD. The reasoning given was: A collection of spurious connections. A complete mess that nobody is ever going to—nor should attempt to—clean up. Family DNA, the Bible, a fictious travelogue, botany, Scythians... We have a dab page that can be moved to its place. Srnec (talk) 22:06, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The page Helon has existed for a number of years and has had a number of edits (including revisions and editions) by independed Wiki Editors.

The content of the page is used by quite a few users around-the-world to gain a grounding on the subject(s).

YES - the page could do with a tidy-up as previously suggested.

I don't see any mention of "Family DNA, or a fictious travelogue" and I don't see any justification for deletion.

I question your motives Srnec, and given comments by others on other pages it seems you are just up to mischief because you either don't like someone, something, or have a personal interest in seeing the page Helon deleted?

PLEASE EXPLAIN your expertise? Pegasus1965 (talk) 01:39, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are right about the DNA—not because you didn't add it, but because I must have been looking at an older version of the article. That material was removed by Doug Weller on 2 December 2013. The fictitious travelogue is Helon's Pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Srnec (talk) 02:03, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So then as far I can see, there's no reason to delete this article. @Srnec:, would you like to withdraw your AfD (I had to withdraw one a few days ago!)? Doug Weller talk 07:54, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and the people and language are already listed in Helon (disambiguation), which should be moved here afterward. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:18, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It is unclear what the proposed course of action is here. Move a DAB, delete or otherwise. As the deletion might be needed for the move, relisting for more input rather than a no consensus/handle editorially.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star Mississippi 13:41, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:TNT and move Helon (disambiguation) to the title. The excessive detail and attempts to tie everything together amount to WP:SYNTH. Walt Yoder (talk) 18:21, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- This article brings together in one article a number of disparate subjects which ought to be in separate articles, united by a disambiguation page. For the same reason we do not allow SHAREDNAME categorisation. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
