Goetan people

 * – ( View AfD View log )

POV fork of Wu-speaking peoples, and its POV portions are not supported by the only source that was cited in the article. Further, by basically being otherwise a copy-paste (along with POV portions) of Wu-speaking peoples, it is of questionable GFDL validity. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 06:31, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Additional comment. Also possibly a hoax, as the phrase (and I will admit that the pronunciation is not implausible from a Wu-dialect standpoint — while I do not speak the dialect, I am sufficiently familiar with the general phonology that I don't see the phrase as itself implausible) yields 0 Google hits of any kind.  --Nlu (talk) 06:33, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

 * An unidentifiable person employing a pseudonym, whose reputation for fact checking and accuracy thus cannot be determined, posting without peer review or editorial process on a WWW discussion forum is the best source that you can point to? Uncle G (talk) 13:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Note, too, that that person is probably the same person who came to Wikipedia at the same time back in 2008, and tried to write the same claims into Wikipedia directly, using the pseudonymous account . Uncle G (talk) 13:20, 17 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Additional comment Since then, the user has added two more articles in the same vein; and, which further suggests that this is disruptive editing given the concerns that I've brought him/her already.  I've added a level 2 warning.  I am not going to speedily delete yet as I'd like further comment on this, but I am close to doing so if this behavior continues (which I think would be further evidence of this being a hoax).  --Nlu (talk) 13:51, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
