Sirins and Sirens

According to the [1] Among the most common images were the representations of the two legendary creatures, Sirin and Alkonost, depicted in Sirin, the Bird of Paradise and Alkonost, the Bird of Paradise. Loosely based on the stories about sirens.... The creature of Russian mythology are indeed related to the creatures of Greek myths but they are thousands years younger and distinct. In Russian sirin is Сирин (usually with a capital in the name as a personal name) and siren is сирена (without a capital). They never mixed Alex Bakharev (talk) 22:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The site you linked to is not a reliable source per WP:RS, and if it were it doesn't say that Sirin was different from Siren. The description of a Sirin here matches that of Siren, and sirens were also found in other countries and not just Ancient Greece. I see no distinction worth giving this a separate article.

It's pretty clear that although related, Sirin and Siren are not the same thing. Dlabtot (talk) 17:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are not related. This is one of many attempts to distort Slavic prechristian history with Greek (Orthodox Christian) occult nonsense.
