Per discussion at Talk:Hsigo; the non-existent subject of the article is the result of an OCR error and fails WP:GNG. Kayau (talk · contribs) 03:07, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

• Delete If the talk page comments are correct, Hsigo is the result of Google Books faulty OCR and thus fails verifiability. We are only enhancing and promulgating error by keeping the article. Edison (talk) 04:01, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
• Regardless how this word originated, there are at least two authentic usage examples on GBooks: Symbolic and Mythological Animals (1992) and Companion for the Apprentice Wizard (2006). It is also in Illustrated Guide to Mythical Creatures (2011), according to this review. According to the talk page comments, the word has been used as a character's name on two U.S. television shows, Andromedia (2001) and Flying Monkeys (2013). That's pretty slim for notability, but this is definitely not an OCR misprint. After all, no one was using GBook scans back in 1992, were they? KlingonHeaven (talk) 06:58, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

• Delete. The comments at the talkpage discussion are convincing that this is the result of an error. --Cold Season (talk) 17:59, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
• Redirect. From comments on the talk page, it appears that this is a misspelling of hsiao/xiao. So the lemma should direct to xiao (mythology). The Viking 04:14, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
