"This article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

Keep - Stub article about high Laotian government official. Not a BLP. Useful information would be lost by deletion with no corresponding benefit to the project. Obviously in need of further sourcing, but that's not a unique or even unusual situation. Carrite (talk) 16:42, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Google scholar search gives three excellent sources:

Laos in 1993: The Revolution on Hold by Arthur J. Dommen. Asian Survey Vol. 34, No. 1, A Survey of Asia in 1993: Part I (Jan., 1994), pp. 82-86. Published by University of California Press. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2644960.
Laos in 1975: People's Democratic Revolution -- Lao Style by MacAlister Brown and Joseph J. Zasloff. Asian Survey Vol. 16, No. 2, A Survey of Asia in 1975: Part II (Feb., 1976), pp. 193-199. Published by University of California Press. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2643148.
Quarterly Chronicle and Documentation from The China Quarterly No. 61 (Mar., 1975), pp. 176-202. Published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the School of Oriental and African Studies. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/651950.

They show that the subject was a very notable member of the Pathet Lao cabinet, onetime Minister of Economics, etc. The Google Books search gives 40 results, mostly reliable and academic sources, which I won't list here. Nominator: please see WP:BEFORE listing articles at AfD, and re-read the note I left on your talk page two days ago regarding this same issue with your three previous nomination.
