This may qualify for a speedy. I feel that the subject of this article fails WP:N and WP:BIO. The list of facts about the person, besides being essentially unintelligible, are back up by references that do not verify any of the information provided. They're either to pages that don't exist or to references of dubious reliability that don't even mention the subject of the article. It could be tagged for a speedy with A1/G1, A7, and/or G3. The person may also be alive and as no references that I checked even mention the subject, it may qualify for a prod per unreferenced BLP. OlYeller^Talktome 13:20, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Article appears to be a machine translation. GBooks shows that much of the article could be verified, but I'm unsure the subject meets Wikipedia guidelines for notability. Edward321 (talk) 16:08, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep definitely notable. I can fix this. HE was a general and division commander and tried to stop the 1963 South Vietnamese coup without success YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 02:00, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep as per YellowMonkey. Three star general involved in the Vietnam War. Buckshot06 (talk) 03:29, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional keep: the article is a mess, and I got confused just attempting to read it. I really have no idea if he warrants notability because I just couldn't make much sense of the content. If it can get cleaned up, then I will re-assess. Best of luck, YellowMonkey! bahamut0013^words _deeds 13:07, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It's a badly written and formatted article, but the subject is notable and his achievements are verifiable. A candidate for improvement, not deletion. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 17:06, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've had a go at trying to get some sort of order out of the mess. I've made no attempt to verify any of the information, and some stuff just made no sense whatsoever, but at least it's an article now (albeit likely to be an inaccurate and incomplete one). Others can take it from here. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 17:40, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
