 * Why? I have given several sources. UtherPendrogn (talk) 22:05, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Nothing in Köbler's dictionary, for ueleda and for weleda. And as for sources, RFV asks for actual attestations of the term in Old English text, per WT:CFI. The sources you gave are mere references, not citable attestations. —CodeCat 22:07, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure your own vote says that dead languages only require one use or mention instead of the standard three mentions. I think the only criterion not met so far is 'the community of editors for that language should maintain a list of materials deemed appropriate as the only sources for entries based on a single mention'. So we just add one of these sources listed, and we're done! There is 'a box explaining that a low number of citations were used should be included on the entry page (such as by using the template)' but nobody actually does that. Plus, it's not like it's hard to type, it's seven characters. Renard Migrant (talk) 18:09, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * That assumes that we even have a mention. As I gathered from other discussions about this, the mention is actually of Veleda and it was made by Tacitus, who lived before Old English was even a thing. —CodeCat 18:13, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * What about the other sources listed under references? Renard Migrant (talk) 21:36, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * help me out here, can you actually quote any of the references since I'm struggling to find ueleda (it's citable as a mention in Old Irish). It just needs a mention and it doesn't have to be in a language, and the reference of the mention has to be put on the approved list. Renard Migrant (talk) 23:27, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm going to consider this failed until a real cite, use or mention, is added to the citation page. —CodeCat 23:05, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
