[edit] Nahnebahwequa

This article seems like original research on a historical, Native American subject. Contributed by an anon, it surely falls under WP:NOT. Delete. Bratsche^{talk 5 pillars} 23:45, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I would originally have felt inclined to mark it for copyediting, but a cursory Google search doesn't turn up any references for the subject. Sadly, I must vote delete; it is clear that said anon has obviously put a lot of effort into the article, and Google searching doesn't show it to be a copvio. Nonetheless, clearly original research, and thus must be deleted.
• Establish source, or delete. This looks to me like a paper someone wrote for another purpose and then pasted into Wikipedia. Now, if we can establish that (a) the content is sufficiently documented to be considered not original research, and (b) the author of the piece is willing to release content under the GFDL, I see no reason for a (considerably) revised version to appear here. -Joshuapaquin 00:32, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Bad article, but a real Canadian historical figure. She is listed in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography as Nahnebahwequay (note y on the end); documented here. Needs major cleanup, but keep. Bearcat 02:07, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Wikipedia should have an article on her and this one, though needing a great deal of clean-up and copy-editing, is a very interesting start. There is a concern that it is a copyvio because it was obviously copy/pasted from somewhere but it doesn't seem to be an online source. If it's kept, I will volunteer to do a brutal copy-edit on it.

• Keep and cleanup. This does not fall under the definition of original research (compare Nancy Ward), and with this many citations it doesn't have to be on Google. Gazpacho 17:05, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and brutally cleanup as per User:DoubleBlue offer. Subject is notable in the history of aboriginal land claims in Canada. Dictionary of Canadian Biography entry is here: [1]. This article is part of DoCB initiative project. I have added a link to the DoCB web site article to the wikipedia page. Luigizanasi 17:58, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up. DS1953 06:02, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
