Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/House of du Souich
spend some time working on nobility articles and you start to get a sense of what is generally available (in terms of |reliable sources) to verify the existence / achievements / heritage of particular families. There are rare exceptions (like families that have been intentionally "wiped" from the record books by a rival family) but I don't think this is one of them (even in those cases, a record of the conflict itself usually remains). I'm not seeing any of that for this article. That doesn't mean it is a hoax, but I can understand how some editors might come to that conclusion. Whether or not it exists or existed is actually irrelevant. We still need reliable independent sources to verify notability and any claims made in the article itself. The long list of '''fr.wiki''' "sources" actually hurt claims of notability because |Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Without , this is just another (ironically) |noble cause. The |SPA vote-spam is particularly unhelpful, especially since few cite any policies to back up their claims. The old ''"I just happened to be reading this (thus, obviously) important article and noticed it had been nominated for deletion so was persuaded to !vote here"'' is particularly overused
