- This is certainly not a dictionary definition, being about a god rather than a word, and verification is not a problem as there is a source cited in the article and more can be found by this search. It seems that this is one of the names of the god most commonly known as Leza, used when he provides rain, and about whom we don't have an article. The best outcome would be for an article to be written about Leza and for this to be redirected there, but I don't have time at the moment to write such an article. 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 17:36, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
- Merge. This is improperly categorized as fiction, mythology is not fiction but culture/history. Anyway, the topic does appear mentioned in several sources, if briefly. I think it should be merged to some list of deities, with a possible mention in Ila_people#Culture section which is currently a sad joke. From Lists_of_deities#Sub-Saharan_Africa (another underdeveloped section...) I found a possible merge target at List of African mythological figures. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:39, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

- As it stands, this should be a Merge to
List of rain deities (which should be expanded beyond a simple
WP:SAL). I agree with the IP editor that
an article to be written about Leza
would also be a plausible merge target. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 03:16, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
