Chebign'o

Chebign'o (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

This article is nominated for deletion due to lack of verifiability. It does not return any google hits. The only source mentioning Chebign'o is found here. I would expect at least few discrete sources, but even school or coordinate directories refuse to recognise it. Thereafter, it remains doubtful whether a village called "Chebign'o" exists in reality.

• This article mentions it: A Kenyan XC Legend - William Segei. He's the person that the Chebign'o article mentions. Sancho (talk) 16:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Oh, you already knew about that article... disregard. Sancho (talk) 16:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
• It must be a misspelling in the IAAF article. Punkmorten 19:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Then try to find out its correct spelling. Misspelled articles do not make Wikipedia more reliable. Julius Sahara 19:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
  • A village called Chebunge might match, at least it is located near Kapsimotwo [1]. Kapsimotwo is a sub-location, which is the smallest defined administrative unit in Kenya. According to the abovementioned IAAF article, Sigei was born in Kapsimotwo, and that's already a quite precise notation. I think the article, if not deleted, should be renamed to Kapsimotwo. But bear in mind there is place called Kapsimotwo in Nandi District too... Julius Sahara 16:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• I'm in an e-mail conversation with the editorial manager for the IAAF, who has sent a confirming e-mail to their Kenyan correspondent that wrote this story to verify the spelling. Please don't close this debate just yet (unless this issue doesn't matter), I suspect I will have some information by tomorrow. Sancho (talk) 13:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Spelling correction. The author of the referenced IAAF article confirmed it was a spelling error and has updated the article with the correct spelling: Chebeing'o. However, I can't find any information about the village under the new spelling either haha... so maybe this was irrelevant to the discussion after-all.
• Delete because this was a misspelled article and the correct spelling has no encyclopedic information available other than the district that it exists in. We can leave the correctly spelled village name in the article on William Sigei, but without the wikilink. Sancho (talk) 16:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. There is no information from which to build an article. SilkTork 10:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
