The Sly Serpent

Contested prod by the creator. Non-notable Korean fairy tale. A Google search on this topic returns no results. The external link provided by the creator of this article doesn't mention this fairy tale. The other link provided by the creator doesn't return any results either as seen in this Google search. This is probably a hoax or very obscure fairy tale that few know about. Cunard (talk) 17:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: According to the article as well the poet is a well known Korean poet but I can't find information about him through this Google search or other variations. Possible hoax. Orfen ^T • _C 20:35, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm always hesitant to vote delete on something from another language/culture of which I may be ignorant. However, I searched quite a bit, in English and in Korean, and could find nothing. Finally, I've asked my Korean wife, and she's never heard of it. I suspecect it is, indeed, a hoax. Dekkappai (talk) 04:18, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:HOAX. I've never heard of such a folktale and the names of characters in the story are very dubious. The author name, Cho sun or Chosun is an alternative spelling of Joseon Dynasty, as well as the princess name is one of Three Kingdoms of Korea, Silla. If anyone who does not know Korean culture read the story, it sounds spurious, but it is well written hoax, I believe. The creator of the article would be better to publish his own story as a book.--Caspian blue (talk) 21:09, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
