Possible hoax. Biographical article with lots of interesting claims, but no sources to back up any assertion. For instance, the article claims that Thapa represented Texas in Congress in 1928, but the available lists of representatives don't mention her. I couldn't find any sources whatsoever when searching by name, and a person this notable would turn up at least a few hits in a google/news/book search. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 04:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, obviously a hoax. In case there's any question, there are no results for "Beeva Thapa" at the Biographical Directory of the US Congress, and her name never appears in the New York Times archives. Zagalejo^^^ 04:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hoax. The photo in the article certainly isn't that of someone who lived in the period she's supposed to have lived, and, anyway, the first woman to represent a Texas district in the U.S. House of Representatives was Lera Millard Thomas, in 1966. Deor (talk) 04:41, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * (Speedy) Delete - tried different spellings on google .... no hits at all (not even this article, surprising). LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The Google database doesn't update instantaneously; this article has only been up for a few hours. If this article lasts the full five-day period on WP:AFD, it will probably show up in Google by then. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - the black and white photo is obviously modern based on the hair style ... despite the nineteenth century birth date. LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep. I'm sure there are several dozen ways to prove this is a hoax. Zagalejo^^^ 05:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as hoax. Here's another piece of evidence: a non-natural born citizen could not have been considered a potential Presidential candidate. I wonder what the point of writing this was. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
