I hate to say it but this might be a hoax. References have been requested since June 2006, I looked on Google books and scholar under multiple terms and found nothing. There's very little on a Google web search, noting appears relevent.[1] See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eau, apparently other articles created in the same batch as this one were suspected hoaxes too and deleted... this one wasn't for some reason. At any rate, happy hunting... I tried about 15 search terms and found nothing. If not sourced, should be deleted per WP:V. Rividian (talk) 22:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete unless sources that satisfy WP:V can be found before the end of this AfD. Deor (talk) 00:49, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I did a bit of google searching but the only relevant entries I found are mirrors or clones of the WP article. Either a hoax or an entirely non-notable subject. Fails WP:V and WP:N. Nsk92 (talk) 03:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Rividian. Jakew (talk) 22:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I also so searched for references and came up empty, delete per WP:V. Jeepday (talk) 13:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I found this entry on Nationmaster.com that mentions Maelare. I know nothing about that site and its reliability or lack thereof. Anyone know if it's any good? Aleta ^Sing 04:50, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's just a clone of a previous version of the WP article Malara. Jeepday seems to have removed the mention of Maelare from the article when s/he added a couple of sources, (perhaps because he isn't mentioned in those sources?). Deor (talk) 11:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, OK. Thanks. Aleta ^Sing 12:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete in light of all of the above with no prejudice against recreation of someone actually comes up with some real sources. Aleta ^Sing 12:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I just added Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tua-Uo-Loa, which looks like the same thing. FCSundae ∨^☃ (talk) 08:57, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
