[edit] Pu'a Tuiletufuga Hunkin

Pu'a Tuiletufuga Hunkin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Still unreferenced after almost a year, and no relevant Google hits. I prodded this in March, but my prod was removed to give the author a chance to add refs. Someone did add a reference in an edit summary to document the existence of Leuatea Sio, who is mentioned in the article - this is clearly not an adequate source for this article.

  • Delete I spent some time searching for this person, using several variants of the name and could find nothing that was not a mirror of this page. The nearest I got was this result from Google Books which is a one line mention of someone who might be a relative of this artist. Without any sources at all, it simply isn't possible to know whether this entry is a hoax or a real person. Given the length of time this article has been tagged, I don't hold out much hope that sources will be found. Therefore we must delete, with no prejudice against recreation if sources can be found.

  • Delete, per above, verification is not possible at this point. If reliable sources can be found, then by all means recreate. Lankiveil (talk) 11:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
  • Delete - I was the edittor that removed the PROD and tagged the article with UNREF. It's been a almost a year now and no references have been added to establish notability. The sole reference which is mentioned in an edit sumary is not even about the subject of this article. My own searches turn up no reliable sources either. -- Whpq (talk) 14:17, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete- per others and the author himself. Λua∫Wise (talk) 19:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
comment - the author is User:Fatugalelei who has not participated in this AFD discussion. -- Whpq (talk) 19:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
The above "per author" may refer to the discussion at Talk:Pu'a Tuiletufuga Hunkin, but that was primarily a plea to keep the article while saying that sources were hard to find online.-gadfium 00:33, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. A lack of references means that this article (apparently) cannot be verified. Mostlyharmless (talk) 01:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
This does raise another question related to the AfD process. That cultural/national groups with limited written histories, or oral traditions are likely to be forever underrepresented in articles on wikipedia, relative to those who wrote and catalogued their history. I'm not sure there's any way around it. Mostlyharmless (talk) 01:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
