I can't figure out what this is about. It is so incoherent I seriously considered CSD per G-1, but thought I'd send it here first in case someone can discern something worth salvaging. Ad Orientem (talk) 16:25, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The Bahasa version of the article (which I read via Google Translate) is somewhat more informative (albeit garbled in translation), and it has some footnotes. If I understand correctly, this is about a particularly valuable breed of chicken that is popular in Solok Regency, where it an official mascot of the district. See for example this news article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:48, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Perhaps this article merites WP:TNT, but the subject would appear to be notable. This particular variety of chicken has, however, a great multitude of names, see: [1]. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 18:51, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not that the source I cited (IJPAES) is necessarily reliable [2] הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 18:54, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As it happens, another name of this breed of chicken is Ayam Pelung, which is a legible article. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 19:05, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Based on the above contributions to the discussion it sounds like there might be a plausible argument for notability here. But that just doesn't mean much if you can't read the article, which is simply unintelligible. It is not a long article so maybe someone who has language proficiency can do a quick rewrite. Unfortunately I have neither the linguistic skills nor sufficient familiarity with the subject to be of much help. The bottom line though, is that it can't be kept in its current form. My position is Delete absent a rewrite. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:44, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your position is understandable, although another option might be to stub it with source noted above. Anyway, no doubt an Indonesian poultry expert will be along presently to clear all this up for us. :-) --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:30, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Ayam Pelung, unless it can be shown that there are two breeds called "singing chicken" in Indonesia. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 20:32, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm fine with the redirect suggested in the two previous !votes. I am also curious as to the rational for relisting the AfD twice. I am not seeing any real argument for keeping the article in its current form. It is unintelligible gibberish and almost certainly a valid candidate for G-1 CSD. More than sufficient time has been given for someone to come and improve it. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:12, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
