Haketsi

The creator of the article is anonymous.
The article cites no sources.
No one else has adopted the article.
A Wikipedia editor and I have both tried to confirm the information without success.
Google lists 236 results for the word Haketsi. All of them are either random word lists or contain the exact same text as Wikipedia.
Many of the Google results with the same text cite Wikipedia as the source.
I emailed the webmaster of the most popular website in Georgia a few minutes ago asking whether he can confirm the truth or falsity of the article but have not heard back yet.
Unless this article is greatly expanded it should deleted.
As is, this is a dictionary entry that belongs in Wiktionary, which doesn't have the term either.
Even if the information is correct—which has not been established—it obviously is not important. If it had even minor importance, it should appear somewhere else on the Web in a different context.

Comment It looks like you've done your homework. :) If you can get any confirmation, then transwiki to wiktionary, and/or mergre with Georgia (country). Otherwise, delete uncerimoniosuly. Segv11 ^{(talk/contribs)} 07:25, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I received the following response to my inquiry:

Hi there,
The word "Haketsi" is not Georgian, I never even heared that Georgia is called so... You can ask Armenians about thi term, they might provide more information about it.
Good luck!

I am researching an English-language article for the free on-line

encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org

The article says that "Haketsi" was the Armenian name of Georgia in ancient

times (before 800).

Can you confirm whether that is true or false?

Thanks!

Delete A search of google reveals only hits that are from pages which pull from wikipedia. In other words, I'm voting for deletion based on it being unverifiable, and most likely a hoax. (If it were true, you think someone would have mentioned it). Great job on the part of the nominator. --Bachrach44 03:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
