Malika Fadel ben Salvador

None of Google scholars, JSTOR, or google books turn up anything, even if I shorten the search term to "Malika Fadel". The cited source appears to be a blog. I can't verify that such a person actually exists, let alone notable. HaEr48 (talk) 00:01, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I found nothing in any search, including for ملكة فاضل. The es.wiki article is by an experienced editor who focuses on the history of Almeria, but this seems to be an oddity. The es.wiki article was also edited recently to say that she is a fictional character rather than a historical person, which may partly explain the lack of refs.

 * Delete. My Spanish is pretty ropy, but the one source used is linked from the es.wiki article, and seems to cite Borges' A Universal History of Infamy which is, needless to say, not a reliable source. The fact that the quote cited on Borges' authority to Malika ben Salvador is in fact attributed by Borges to Anne Bonny makes me doubly skeptical of the cited source, and digging around on google scholar is not turning up any actually reliable sources.

 * Delete. The entry in the Spanish Wikipedia is equaly pathetic. We often go astray when we're, in our heads, on a mission, no matter how noble it might be, such as trying to create as many articles about women in history as possible. -The Gnome (talk) 20:35, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
