Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sao Pan Thee
Appearance
This article was nominated (and blanked) by Furrymee (talk · contribs), who left edit summaries reading "Remove false article from Wikipedia" and "This is a shabby fabrication". I'm just tidying the botched nomination, I personally express no opinion. Middenface 16:46, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - it is noteworthy that the article cites no sources, and that googling for the name "Sao Pan Thee" produces only wikipedia or wikipedia mirrors. Someone needs to present strong evidence that this isn't another hoax article. Middenface 16:55, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- But yes, I'm conscious that transliteration from Burmese is an imperfect and sometimes divergent business, so maybe he's known under an alternative latinisation. -- Middenface 16:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment No vote, but I'd like to point out that User:Furrymee only has edits relating to this subject. Darquis 23:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment No vote, but when I contacted The Irrawaddy (a Burmese news magazine published in Thailand) via e-mail, they responded stating they had no idea who he was. Maybe contacting Shanland.org (Shan Herald Agency for News) may provide further information. Some users also seem adamant in removing tags for verification, etc. Also, considering Sao Pan Thee is supposedly Shan, only the 'Sao' hints of Shan descent (or Sai), as it is commonly used for Shan men. 'Pan Thee' seems like it is Burmese, and alternatives could for 'Pan' may be 'Phan' or 'Hpan', and for 'Thee', 'Thi' or 'Si'. Hintha 04:10, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. The article has been in Wikipedia for exactly 6 months today, been seen/edited for at least 10 different editors, and it has yet to give a source. One of Wikipedia main guidelines is WP:V, and this article has been failing it for half a year. We don't even need to know if this guy's claim is valid or not, just be able to verify his claim, which we cannot. Delete as hoax. -- ReyBrujo 07:13, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Delete I tried this [1] query on Google - all these combinations Hintha wrote, but the result is WP only. I agree with ReyBrujo. --MaNeMeBasat 07:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
