Laughing Chicken

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This breed of chicken seems not to exist. A Google search brings up no results, other than the one article already cited. The Article was created by user:Kangwira, who uploaded the only image on the page, describing its source as 'my farm'. This image is taken from the sourced website.

Because there are no other sources than the website of the main author, this would lead me to believe it contravenes (WP:RS), (WP:N) and (WP:V) Sotakeit (talk) 13:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep ID:Ayam Ketawa (won't let me wikilink to Indonesian language wiki here for some reason?) Same species of chicken, the Indonesian language article is much more comprehensive if anyone can translate properly. I only have google translate to go by for now. JTdale   Talk 16:07, 8 July 2014 (UTC) Addendum Tracked down some english language articles. 1, 2, 3. They are also reported to DAD-IS by Indonesia under the name 'Gaga. 4  JTdale   Talk 16:16, 8 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Fairly sure that this breed exists, at the very least for competitions. Kompas (one of Indonesia's largest newspapers) has 346 GHits with the key words "Ayam Ketawa". I'll not pass judgement on if this subject is notable yet, but I'm tempted to say it probably is. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 17:29, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * :Keep - on the basis of User:Crisco 1492 whose knowledge of Indonesia I trust. If the breed has a consistent local name, it probably is worthy of coverage. The lack of reliable sources in English might mean the article would have to refer to sources in Bahasa Indonesia. Shyamal (talk) 05:30, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * PS: it is possible that the more common name is Ayam Gaga' - according to http://www.ijpaes.com/admin/php/uploads/413_pdf.pdf - unfortunately a journal that would not pass muster in Beall's list - but it has some useful references listed. http://peternakanjunaedi.blogspot.in/2013/04/kajian-bioakustik-tipe-suara-ayam-gaga.html Shyamal (talk) 05:38, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I've updated the article with what little I found find. I did manage to track down several of its names via various reference (which seem to indicate the names vary because of Indonesian vs Buginese languages). I know the journal is not the best, but it is written by a professor from Hasanuddin University so I'll take what we have.  JTdale   Talk 06:53, 9 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep This breed does exist. The editors above provide the citations needed.--DThomsen8 (talk) 22:56, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Once this debate is closed, maybe discuss if the English name is known enough to be the title, or if it's a translation and the article should be moved to be Ayam Gaga.  But that's a differnt debate.   Montanabw (talk)  18:05, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
