Assinibwan Indians of Montana

It is little unclear, unreferenced and cannot find much relevant results in google.  Yash  t  101   03:50, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Unsure because I'm not going to search Google. On its face it looks like a decent first try of an article. It may be difficult to source it by the nature of the subject matter. Chutznik (talk) 04:01, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete This particular ethnic group is called "Assiniboine" in English, "Asinīpwāta" in the Cree language and "Asiniibwaan" in the Ojibwe language. The contents of the article, when stripped of the non-NPOV, can be incorporated instead into the existing Assiniboine people or incorporated into the two tribes in Montana that have significant Assiniboine populations: Fort Belknap and Fort Peck. In addition, this article focus considerably more on other tribal groups rather than on the tribal subject suggested by the article title with minimal accuracy to either documented histories or by oral histories, which makes the information on the other tribal groups here appears to be WP:OR without the proper documentation.

 * FWIW, one of the Google hits for just 'Assinibwan' says 'Assinibwan see Assiniboin', which appears to be another spelling for the Assiniboine people, so perhaps this just needs to be redirected there (given that it has French origins, the ending of Assiniboine would sound like '-bwan'). Possibly a redir from Assinibwan to Assiniboine (dab page for all things Assiniboine) would also be in order. 71.197.246.210 (talk) 04:34, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge encyclopedic content with Assiniboine people, which already includes a section on tribes in Montana. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:37, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Unless reliable sources are provided. I am actually going through the author's other pages, and the same issue arises over and over and over again. I have NO idea where he's getting his information, whether any of it is accurate, etc, etc. I have also posted on the author's page to politely explain Wiki policy and ask him to read up on some of the rules. There's really no discussion to be had here -- without sources, the page and all the information included has to be deleted. I will happily change my vote if and when such sources are provided.JoelWhy (talk) 20:43, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete The article creator appears to have created many unreferenced, all-original-research POV articles prior to being banned. Let's go through them all and either clean them up or clear them out. For this particular one, if anything was sourced in the article, I'd say move it into one of the more relevant existing articles—but nothing is sourced. .
