The result of the debate was KEEP. I can barely believe that's a real name! -Splash 02:18, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
This was tagged for a speedy delete, but I don't think it falls into that category - there does seem to some information elsewhere on the web about this person. I suspect there is so little known about Djedptahiufankh that the poor fellow only merits a footnote on some other page. I've no opinion one way or the other, so I'll leave it up to others to decide. (I.e. don't take this as a vote for or against deletion.) Finbarr Saunders 21:32, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, looks like a typing test but does appear to be a real mummy [1]. Kappa 21:55, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or (if a suitable place can be found) merge. Apparently it's about a real person, but considering that the name gets 64 Google hits (compare 674 for Ahmose-Nefertari) and half of them appear to be stuff like "list of ancient Egyptian male names," I seriously doubt he's notable enough to warrant his own article. Would probably be fine as a short section inside some bigger article on ancient Egypt, but I'm not sure which. Maybe a section on whatever "Prophet of Amun" means in the Amun article? Something like List of mummies? List of slightly important people in ancient Egyptian history? I dunno, man. Penelope D 22:11, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Djedptahiufankh did truly exist. There are also several web sites which mention this person and he is also mentioned in Kenneth Kitchen's book, The Third Intermediate Period in Egypt. More importantly, his tomb was found intact and many treasures and dated bandages were found on his body. He was a very important person in her time--the Fourth Prophet of Amun--and merits some mention on Wikipedia. His discovery was a rare event in a country where Mummys were often robbed or destroyed in antiquity by tomb robbers. Finally, this web site confirms some of the details of his career: [[2]]

- Strong Keep-At first I didnt think it was a real person, but I was mistaked. The fact that the mummy and burial site is well preseved mkaes it more than notable enough in my opinion. --Gpyoung talk 23:03, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I'm generally inclined to keep anyone who lived 3000 years ago and is still known by name. Pburka 03:40, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep! Of course! Trollderella 09:21, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
