I couldn't verify its notability. Can anyone find sources to prove he existed and was notable? Boleyn (talk) 18:42, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- He is said to be referred to in two ancient works, one of which deals with semi-legendary (not necessarily historical) events. The question is what then two sources say about him. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and improve with familiar attention. Delete at best as my searches found nothing immediately better, restart if better available later. SwisterTwister talk 21:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I added references to mentions in the Puranas and the Mahabharata in English. They are not extensive, but this may be a case where we want to retain and hope for more extensive references in local languages as those sources are central to much of Indian mythology. His name is transliterated in a number of ways, some of which I've added above and at the article. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 18:14, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Doesn't seem like a major character in the epics but there do seem to be enough stories around him to warrant a place here. Not sure if this won't be better as part of another article. Uanfala (talk) 00:42, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Very weak keep There are a few english sources (especially mentioning Visala). That being said, the article does not provide a lot of information, so maybe this belongs in "draft-space" for now. -- Hybris1984 (talk) 08:57, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. we normally dokeep legendary figures and provide whatever information is available. DGG ( talk ) 18:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
