Potential hoax. This competition is not covered on RSSSF despite the article mentioning winners for 2006 and 2007. The main cup competition in Laos is Beerlao Prime Minister's Cup. A google search for Lao FA Cup produces only links to wiki mirrors. The RSSSF page covers more than just the Prime Minister's cup, so if there was a tournament called "FA Cup" I would expect to see it here. Looking at the supposed winners, I do not think this is an instance of confusion with the Prime Minister's cup as the winner's bear no resemblance to those recorded. Potentially a minor competition that has been misnamed, but even if it does exist, it is not the main cup and fails WP:GNG. Fenix down (talk) 10:49, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment - the competition is not mentioned on the official Lao FA website either here. Fenix down (talk) 11:25, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The article was created 4 October 2012 as a copy of Thai FA Cup as it was on the same date.[1][2] The creator User:Nuttawat did not edit the article again. Subsequent attempts were made to remove erroneous information without realising the entire subject was nonsense. The creator has had similar matters complained of at User talk:Nuttawat and is currently blocked for disruptive editing.[3] Thincat (talk) 12:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
