Anwar Ismail

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article is pretty much a hoax.

The first reference had no link, and when I searched it in an archive of old magazines there was nothing. The second one is a book which I have a file on. But, after searching through the entire book (thankfully the party that the so called “Anwar Ismail” belonged through only had a few representatives so that wasn’t long), there’s no one named “Anwar Ismail”. The third reference, seemed promising, but seemed like it was either a dead link or fake reference. The final one also has no link.

There was also an image, which has been deleted. The image turned out to be some other guy called Hadji Imam Sofwan. I'm 99% sure this article is a complete hoax. I might be archiving this article, since it lasted a surprisingly long 59 days. The man from Gianyar (talk) 06:56, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can verify that there are no "Anwar Ismail" in the roster. The tirto.id article seems fake too. Aside from deleting, I would recommend a sanction be given against if the hoax is proven to be created in bad faith. Juxlos (talk) 14:39, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
