Apparent hoax, or at least misinterpretation of the sources. "Nlaza" is not a person; when records indicate that someone was the son of Nlaza, this meant membership to a specific social order. See p. 110 of this article. I can find no other attestation to this Nlaza existing. Urve (talk) 05:50, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The unsourced, purported "reign" of this king is the same as Quinanga of Kongo. -Indy beetle (talk) 04:49, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw - It was surprisingly difficult, but I finally found some attestation for someone proximal to the dynasty named Nlaza. The fact that Nlaza is at once not a name according to Kongo royal scholars and it also is... they need to sort something out. Anyway, withdraw per this source. Thornton, John K. (November 2006).
