About validity of the legend[edit]

As mentioned in the article, no citations exist except one (which I'll be attaching), because the legend is not an urban legend, yet a fairly modern one, and it happens to exist in the delta of the Nile and areas inbetween, which is relatively less urban than Cairo, and thus has not received any care or review from the media, mostly situated in Cairo, and is not considered more than a local folkore tale which has spread by the word of mouth.

The legend, however, is known by nearly all northern Egyptians. I don't know if Egyptians confirming this here would help render this article more valid to the admins. Haisook 18:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am Egyptian and I confirm that this is a true legend which is well-known in Egypt especially in the Nile Delta.

Still, that's not appropriate. This needs more of a source than a work of fiction, or it simply can't stay. --InShaneee 05:00, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This means that all undocumented topics cannot find their way into Wikipedia? Anyway, I'll search for citations online in the coming couple of days. -- Haisook 17:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a solution to this situation. You could ask any one you choose randomly from Category:Wikipedians in Egypt. (S)he will probably know it, so, you make sure that the article is notable.

There is a similar legend in Iraq (Perhaps some parts of Syria and Arabia), known as Se'lowa or Se'laa (سعلوة , سعلاة) This legend is also popular in Rural areas (In Villages and cities near Rivers and Marshes in Southern Iraq).I think it is related to one of the creatures in that area such as the one in this link [1].--Aziz1005 21:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
