This appears to be about an ethnic conflict that the author Vaphualization (talk · contribs) has posted in multiple places on the internet. I cannot find anything that actually supports the fact that this conflict existed or is notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. It was authored by a single user (Zaphualization) who appears to be using the Internet to spread knowledge or realization of this conflict and is only mentioned in passing on various blogs ([1] [2] [3]). The article is also orphaned, only referenced in bot edits.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 08:46, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Possible Keep - The article is obviously in need of a major rewrite, but I found several news sources ([4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]) and books ([10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]) referencing this conflict. (Snippet view is so frustrating.) The article as it stands has serious POV, sourcing, and OR issues, but it looks like a topic we should have an article on.--Chris Johnson (talk) 11:05, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and clean up per Chris Johnson above.  B.Rossow ^talk_contr 18:13, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The question is that if it is kept, will anyone actually bother to clean it up? I've rarely seen this happen, especially with esoteric ethnic conflicts like this one.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 03:04, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
