Malin Kundang

This article is entitled like a biography, no references and is like a childs story. This could be a hoax as if you read it, its very imaginative.  Te ll y a ddi ct  19:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It's not a hoax, and I don't think it's intended that way. What it is, is a copy/paste of this version of an Indonesian folk myth. What that means for the article's existence isn't clear. Perhaps that's a copyvio, but the story appears to be notable in the culture and quite old as well.  Leebo  T / C  19:28, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe so and I respect your opinion but it is written like a story and it did make me suspicious it might of been a hoax.  Te ll y a ddi ct  19:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply I understand. I was trying to say that we could probably write an article about the story as a notable Indonesian folk myth. Unfortunately, looking at the creator's talk page, he is blocked for wide ranging copyright infringement. I think this may fall under the same category.  Leebo  T / C  19:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong keep: I've cleaned it up, removed all copyvio, and added refs and categories. Tearlach 01:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
