Ancient kings of Finland

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Totally unsourced speculations with no encyclopaedic value about there "probably" having been chieftains called "kings" in prehistoric Finland (the only reference in the article has nothing to do with the subject of the article, but is only about the Finnish word for "king" being "kuningas", and of Germanic origin...), tagged for containing OR since March 2009, but not improved in any way since then. The article seems to have mainly been a playground for indefinitely blocked and site-banned user Art Dominique (indeffed for socking and site-banned by ARBCOM for POV-pushing already back in 2006, but still active as recently as a couple of monts ago...), with multiple blocked/confirmed socks among the contributors in the page history, and is typical of his style: POV material full of weasel words and speculations, with either no sources, fake sources or deliberately misquoted sources.

Delete as per nom. If there is a proper article to be had, starting fresh would be the best way to go. This article is too flawed, and its history too full of shenanigans. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 20:42, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as imaginable for an article but nothing actually convincing the currently needed Wikipedia materials, delete at best and it's also unlikely there would be anything else to add for this article. SwisterTwister talk 01:04, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
