Than Yutthachaibodin

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Disputed PROD. Thai author with one reference (in Thai) from an unknown source. There is a corresponding article in the Thai Wikipedia, but it's also tagged with warnings. I'm unable to find any reliable sources demonstrating the subject's notability. Pburka (talk) 17:11, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment The linked reference in the article is a directory of Thai authors compiled by Prof. Ora-Ong Chakorn of NIDA and published by the Office of Contemporary Art And Culture of the Ministry Of Culture. It's basically a name list (with 320 authors on the list) and doesn't provide in-depth information about any single person. This interview (in Thai) on ryt9.com, a news aggregation website, mentions multiple published works and awards including an honourable mention from the 2006 Phan Waen Fa Awards (organised by the Thai Writers' Association in cooperation with the Thai Parliament), the 2007 Subha Devakul Award, and an honourable mention from this year's Outstanding Books Awards (organised by the Office of the Basic Education Commission of the Ministry of Education). --Paul_012 (talk) 04:38, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment  this article from "bankok biz news" may corroborate the 2007 Devakul award, but ... it's very hard to work through Google's horrendously bad autotranslation of Thai].  --joe deckertalk to me 06:07, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as notability not proved. I've run those sites through Google Translate and the result is garbled and not enough (IMHO) to base a WP:AUTHOR claim on. With respect, this is English-language Wikipedia and I feel it's unfair that editors should be forced to use web translation tools to attempt to trawl foreign language sites for possible references. The burden is on the creator to demonstrate notability and this has not been done, in my opinion. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 19:13, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Userfy The PDF  reference  does not  suggest  notabilty. The link  provided by  Joe Decker appears to  be a newspaper blog and seems to  be  the  the synopsis of a story/book. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:14, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
