 * Delete This one closed as a keep two years ago, based on the old "someone, not I, will improve this" argument. Needless to say, it's the same piece of garbage that it was last time.  Nothing links to this article .  There's no content, other than to say that there was a system, in the Maldives, to honor people and that "Kilegefan" was the highest honor, although even that is unsourced.  While every governmental unit in the world has a way of honoring people, ranging from a "key to the city" to a medal, the primary purpose of an encyclopedia is to provide reliable information that can be verified.  Until someone who knows what they're doing can write a stand alone article, a paragraph will suffice.  Mandsford 20:04, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
