Wasa, Pharaoh

Wasa is not mentioned as a king of the 16th dynasty by any reliable published sources or by an Egyptologist. The article is unreferenced. Moreover this web source indicates that Wasa was possibly a fictional king: [1] while this reliable academic site by the University College of London names no such king for the 16th dynasty: [2] (scroll down to the 16th dynasty) I checked the latest book published by Brill called "Ancient Egyptian Chronology (Handbook of Oriental Studies)" that was authored by Erik Hornung, Rolf Krauss and David Warburton in 2006. They provide a chronology table on page 492 and state the 16th and 17th dynasty were all Theban kings with names like Nebiriau, Sobekhotep VIII, Bebiankh, etc. Nubankhre, which is an Asiatic name is not listed here. Delete per lack of WP:V.
