- Speedy Delete - Hoax. Searching the name gives me zero GHits. The first source in the article does not appear to exist and the second does not mention the subject at all. Iggy pop goes the weasel (talk) 18:52, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

- I hesitate to use the H word but I can't find anything about this. There are two references provided:
- 1. Fifty years ago in Wellesley Townsman Cathy Brauner. 2011 Retrieved 01 January 2015
- 2. Asteria de Sa, "Memories of my golden years of athletics," St. Joseph's Convent School Alumni Karachi 1997
- The first reference seems to be about this article which is about the town of Wellesley, Massachusetts, seemingly completely unrelated? The second reference is just an unlinked book or essay title, and searching for that title on Google or newspapers.com yields no results. The article creator User:Rzafar has not edited since 2018. The lede says "She was the first national champion in long jump" and the body mentions Karachi, so maybe one place to look would be a results archive for the Pakistani Athletics Championships in 1948 when it was founded? --Habst (talk) 20:40, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: None of the sources in the Wikipedia article mention the name Asteria de Sa, which means it definitely is a hoax. ミラへぜ (talk) 17:11, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:V. Even if it’s true, we can’t verify her existence. Bearian (talk) 09:31, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
