• Is Jahbulon notable?

Additional issues to be mediated

• Are the sources fact or speculation?
• Does speculation make for an encyclopedic article?
• What is the motivation for the existence of the article?
• Is the authoritative and non-authoritative information given appropriate weighting within the article as befits it?
• Is a section like "Examples of Jahbulon in Literature" appropriate for an encyclopedia, given that it is a holdover from Wiktionary?
• Is this "word" only relevant to a group whose POV affects no one outside of them, and therefore non-notable?
• Are WP:V and WP:POINT being violated by this article?
