- Unsure - on the one hand, I don't like the title or the unencyclopedic tone WP:NOTESSAY of the writing. On the other hand, this does appear to be a Thing. It might be a challenge to find notable sources, but it does depend if we collectively think it is worth doing here or better to WP:TNT and get whoever recreates it to ensure there is proper sourcing. I'm doubting it is really possible for anyone outside of the Maldives to offer sources that meet the WP:GNG. JMWt (talk) 10:32, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
