Merge Nazi (god) into Nanshe[edit]

The better sourced article Nanshe even mentions the use of the term Nazi (god), which means Nanshe, in the poem that forms the narrow foundation of the Nazi stub. My reading of both articles indicates to me that they are about the same subject. Let's merge. --Hutcher (talk) 20:01, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

However references and sources for this article are minimal, fact checking and sourcing should be done, and references should be updated before a merger is undertaken. XiaolangSan (talk) 17:08, 12 January 2011 (UTC) Also, there is no specific source cited in the Nanshe article for the naming alternative. XiaolangSan (talk) 17:31, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They absolutely should be merged. For reference, once can consult the Reallexikon der Assyriologie vol. 9 s.v. Nanše A where you will find, on page 152:

"Syllabic spellings are Na-an-še ..., Na-aš-še ..., ^dNa-aš₂ ..., and the form ^dNa-zi in [the myth] Enki and Ninhursaga..."

There is no need to have a separate entry for "Nazi" as a Sumerian goddess. 128.84.219.124 (talk) 19:45, 6 August 2011 (UTC) Lance[reply]
