A 13th century violation of WP:BIO1E, not notable for more than a single event, the attempted kidnapping of Genghis Khan's son Tolui, her participation in which is disputed. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:16, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, she exists, but what's here is basically a rehashing from whatever historical text that talks about her [1]. I can't see how this makes her notable. That's all that seems to be written, she grabbed the knife and saved the kid. Oaktree b (talk) 00:23, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Tolui: With the very large caveat that I have no knowledge of Mongolian and thus am unable to search for this in Mongolian, I cannot find much coverage of Altani beyond what is in this article, which is rather humorously yet accurately described by nom as a 13th century WP:BIO1E. Having said that, this can probably be merged a bit more thoroughly into the Tolui article than it currently is. TartarTorte 00:23, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above is fine, or even insert this brief "anecdote"? into the Gengis Khan article. Oaktree b (talk) 00:25, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: As stated above, doesn't need to be its own article given its so limited. TheBritinator (talk) 11:25, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Not convinced there is any content here worth merging. It is essentially based on a single primary source (The Secret History of the Mongols). Redirecting to Tolui may suffice. (Did search for secondary sources like this article in JSTOR – essentially a passing mention which makes it clear the accuracy of the main source is contested.)
