Talk:Soane Toke

Hoax edit

Angleviel (French historian expert on Wallis and Futuna) writes that in 1950, Kapeliele Tufele was elected King and ruled until November, 17th 1953 ; after the usual time for negociations, Aloisia Brial was chosen as a queen by the royal families. Soane Toke is not mentioned anywhere and his one-day reign is highly dubious. This pas is therefore probably a hoax and should be deleted. Skimel (talk) 18:35, 26 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

UPDATE : this page is legit, I have found a new source (Alexandre Poncet, Histoire de l'île de Wallis). It's not a hoax but this lavelua had a very short term as he was not even properly crowned. Hence the absenc in the Angleviel paper. Skimel (talk) 22:00, 26 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
