Nam tran

I can't find any evidence on Google that this person exists. Can someone find a reference? If not, I'm afraid deletion is the Plan B. Note to the faithful deletion sorters: Please add this to the Korea-related deletions. Shalom Hello 19:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I could find no verification of existence in a cursory search. VanTucky  (talk) 20:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. A tricky one. I can't find any reference though his heyday obviously long predates the internet. I have flagged it up on the WikiProject Korea talk page and I see you [Shalom] have flagged it up on the author's talk page (though he/she is an infrequent editor). --Malcolmxl5 21:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The syllable tran is phonetically impossible in Korean. It's common in Vietnamese names, though.  It's a stretch, but maybe they meant Nam Cam? --Reuben 21:29, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even WP:CSB caution doesn't trump WP:V, alas. Without sources, nothing we can keep. There are no interwiki links, either. --Dhartung | Talk 23:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. As Reuben says, "Nam Tran" is not a Korean name (although the alleged gangster may have been of Vietnamese origin). I personally don't think a confusion with Nam Cam could have taken place here, as it would miss both the country and the date of birth by a very wide margin. This stub was written 15 months ago by a quasi-inactive user and has received no attention since. So delete it but without prejudice. --Targeman 00:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Probably a hoax; even if the original author had a real person in mind and misspelled the name, there's nothing worth saving here. cab 02:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Probably a hoax. -- ざくら 木 15:17, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Reuben. Mr. Killigan 00:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
