From User:Scyrme: "All online mentions of this I could find only quote this article, and the vast majority are apparently Wikipedia mirrors/clones that simply reproduce the article. The external link given at the end of the article itself is a deleted Wordpress blog with little information affirming this article, as far as I could tell. (A "Seigneur Kérdik" is mentioned reverently, but none of the details in this articles are given; the same blog also has a prayer to "Lucifer" in the form of poetry.) Furthermore, both this article & its French counterpart were the only contributions of a single user who hasn't been active since 2013. Other editors of the article are primarily responsible only for basic maintenance (categories, etc.) which doesn't imply that any of them have actually heard of "Kérdik" before encountering this article (or one of its clones). Therefore, I'm not certain the article is truthful or verifiable. At best, it seems to be a collection of unverifiable anecdotes, but I think it's more likely just entirely made-up." wizzito | say hello! 00:38, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete every Kérdik I see in Google Scholar appears to be Hungarian, where this word means "they ask" per Google Translate. No indication that this has been covered in RS, may be WP:MADEUP. Jclemens (talk) 05:18, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete an unheard of term that fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in independent media. Fails WP:NFRINGE too. Venkat TL (talk) 14:13, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I can't seem to find any coverage linking "Kérdik" to the Mascareignes island, let alone about Kérdik itself. Leaning towards WP:MADEUP due to lack of WP:V. Pilaz (talk) 13:48, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
