The article on Pontianak is sourced from Dutch sources from colonial days in the then Netherlands Indies, and from studies re. the last reigning Sultan. Most sources are in administrative reports, but also in studies. The subject is not unknown in Dutch colonial history. Rothenbach

Proposed deletion of Pontianak Sultanate


The article Pontianak Sultanate has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Can not proof it as I didn't find an original source, but the formatting, style and quality of this article and the fact that it was all added in one chunk by a user never to be see thereafter are indications that this might be a copy/paste-job. Possibly version deletion will do.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DavidDCM (talk) 09:14, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
