Created, moved from sandbox to main space, draftified, moved back to main space, all on the same day. I was about to draftily until I discovered that. ITls time at AFC iOS done. Now it's the turn of the full community at AfD. Please do not suggest re-draftification, it seems to be pointless with this history

Week keep. While this needs improvement, it seems like this a historical character (well, a legendary one, a Burmese folk hero). Under the name "Maung Pauk Kyaing" (the article has been moved since the AfD) I can see some mentions in Google Scholar. See [1] and [2]. I am having trouble finding some clear SIGCOV, but for example. [3] (1957 publication of the Burma Research Society · contains the sentence "I believe every one of us is familiar with the story of Maung Pauk Kyaing"). Keeping WP:SYSTEMICBIAS in mind, and that some sources may be in Burmese of other languages, I am leaning keep here. Please ping me if either better sources are found, or there is a coherent argument this needs a merge and redirect to a wider topic (such as a legend about him or such, if it already exists).--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:20, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I changed to his correct Burmese name. The article should be kept per WP:HEY as the article has been significantly improved with the addition of references to multiple reliable sources by me that show that the subject is a very important legendary king of Myanmar. He is the most important key figure of Myanmar's founding myth. His legend prescribed in the former 10th grade history book by the Ministry of Education, Myanmar. There are many source about Maung Pauk Kyaing see Google Book result, Three Maxims in the Myth of Maung Pauk Kyaing from Hinthada University Research Journal, Pauk Kyaing Pagoda -[4].
