Original research in the Ubara-Tutu article

The sections about the lengths of reign being "mistranslated" is unsourced original research.

The sentence Hence, Ubara TuTu could mean that the king was a protégé of the highpriest and under the protection of the temple. is unsourced original research - the sources give the translation of the name, but don't draw any further conclusions about it.

The quote from the 1873 source simply states that Ubara-Tutu doesn't sound like Berossus' Ardates, and then states that conclusions can't be drawn because they don't know enough about pronouncing the cuneiform symbols in 1873. This says nothing and adds no information to article.

Abandoned user draft

Please would an interested editor assess the reference links added at User:SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits/Ubara-Tutu, incorporate what is useful, then blank that page as WP:COPYARTICLE, and leave a note here when done? Note that a similar version was already rejected by Zoeperkoe on 13 October 2022 as cleanup, although some new citations were then reinstated. – Fayenatic London 15:15, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
