Apparently hoax. There are no supporting references in the article. It was created (and dePROD'd) by an editor with a short edit history. There is nothing in google about it (except for stuff derived from wikipedia). The name 'Pýǧıkal Kriôl' isn't known to google at all, except from this page. Google scholar doesn't recognise the name of the putative creator, and no linguist by with the surname 'Hasan' in the first three pages of 'Hasan' hits. The dePROD message was 'Although it was designed to be spoken in the Indian Ocean, it is spoken in many households in the US, especially in San Francisco and Houston.' which seems unlikely given it has no google coverage.

None of the words in this article are supported by the references. This article, in a best case scenario, may constitute original research, however, more likely constitutes no research at all and is pushing a pop culture meme that doesn't exist in any normal understanding of political science.
(1) The line "In a constitutional republic, executive, legislative, and judicial powers must be separated into distinct branches" is not supported by the reference and should be deleted. The citation refers to a short essay on the Kids Page of the Truman library in which the United States specifically is addressed (also, the Kids Page on a library website is probably not up to snuff in terms of the academic validity of sources).
(2) The line "that their decisions are subject to judicial review makes the state a republic" has no source at all (and is not supported by any normal understanding of constitutional theory) and should be deleted.
(3) The line "Constitutional republics attempt to weaken the threat of majoritarianism and protect dissenting individuals and minority groups from the "tyranny of the majority" by placing checks on the power of the majority of the population." refers to a book called "The Christian and American Law" (erroneously cited in the source as "Christian and American Law" but obviously the former title as the title "Christian and American Law" doesn't exist in WordCat). I have obtained this book and posted the cited page here - http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6209/50725626.jpg - which clearly makes no mention of anything that would support the line in the entry.
(4) Reference #7 is to page 5 in a book called "The Thirteenth Amendment and American Freedom." Page 5 is previewed at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Thirteenth-Amendment-American-Freedom-Constitutional/dp/0814782760/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1346483432&sr=1-1&keywords=0814782760. On this page the words "constitutional republic" aren't mentioned once but the book is, nonetheless, used to support the passage: "Alexander Tsesis, in The Thirteenth Amendment and American Freedom: A Legal History says, to him, a constitutional republic means "a representative polity established on fundamental law, each person has the right to pursue and fulfill his or her unobtrusive vision of the good life. In such a society, the common good is the cumulative product of free and equal individuals who pursue meaningful aims."
(5) The entry says "In "Outline of the Critique of Political Economy," Marx's stated that "All the bourgeois economists are aware of is that production can be carried on better under the modern police than e.g. on the principle of might makes right. They forget only that this principle is also a legal relation, and that the right of the stronger prevails in their 'constitutional republics' as well, only in another form." - a CTRL+F search of the full text of this treatise (located here: http://archive.org/stream/acontributiontot00marxuoft/acontributiontot00marxuoft_djvu.txt) does not find the claimed passage appearing in any of it.

This has never been an article that reflects particularly well on us. As stated at its first AfD, it was started as a joke article linked from Steven Seagal. I wouldn't usually nominate an article that had passed two AfDs, but they were both from 2006. If you were around then, you may remember how different standards were back then (n.b. WP:AADD didn't exist the first time and had just been created the second). I thought it's worth taking a look at the article again. Many of the keep votes back then weren't especially serious (not that the delete votes were much better).
This whole article is a bit of a WP:SYNTH problem. Not that we invented the concept of a groin attack, but the article is basically just an indiscriminate collection of facts about attacks to the groin. It's very poorly referenced because there's not much to say in WP:RS about groin attacks. The stringing together of some physiological information, mention of its use in YouTube comedy, and a biblical reference just add up to a sloppy, amateurish effort that really isn't encyclopedic. At best, it could be a paragraph at Strike (attack). I'll leave the issue alone if consensus is that the 2006 AfDs were rightly decided. -- BDD ( talk) 01:05, 1 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Apparently hoax. There are no supporting references in the article. It was created (and dePROD'd) by an editor with a short edit history. There is nothing in google about it (except for stuff derived from wikipedia). The name 'Pýǧıkal Kriôl' isn't known to google at all, except from this page. Google scholar doesn't recognise the name of the putative creator, and no linguist by with the surname 'Hasan' in the first three pages of 'Hasan' hits. The dePROD message was 'Although it was designed to be spoken in the Indian Ocean, it is spoken in many households in the US, especially in San Francisco and Houston.' which seems unlikely given it has no google coverage.

None of the words in this article are supported by the references. This article, in a best case scenario, may constitute original research, however, more likely constitutes no research at all and is pushing a pop culture meme that doesn't exist in any normal understanding of political science.
(1) The line "In a constitutional republic, executive, legislative, and judicial powers must be separated into distinct branches" is not supported by the reference and should be deleted. The citation refers to a short essay on the Kids Page of the Truman library in which the United States specifically is addressed (also, the Kids Page on a library website is probably not up to snuff in terms of the academic validity of sources).
(2) The line "that their decisions are subject to judicial review makes the state a republic" has no source at all (and is not supported by any normal understanding of constitutional theory) and should be deleted.
(3) The line "Constitutional republics attempt to weaken the threat of majoritarianism and protect dissenting individuals and minority groups from the "tyranny of the majority" by placing checks on the power of the majority of the population." refers to a book called "The Christian and American Law" (erroneously cited in the source as "Christian and American Law" but obviously the former title as the title "Christian and American Law" doesn't exist in WordCat). I have obtained this book and posted the cited page here - http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6209/50725626.jpg - which clearly makes no mention of anything that would support the line in the entry.
(4) Reference #7 is to page 5 in a book called "The Thirteenth Amendment and American Freedom." Page 5 is previewed at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Thirteenth-Amendment-American-Freedom-Constitutional/dp/0814782760/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1346483432&sr=1-1&keywords=0814782760. On this page the words "constitutional republic" aren't mentioned once but the book is, nonetheless, used to support the passage: "Alexander Tsesis, in The Thirteenth Amendment and American Freedom: A Legal History says, to him, a constitutional republic means "a representative polity established on fundamental law, each person has the right to pursue and fulfill his or her unobtrusive vision of the good life. In such a society, the common good is the cumulative product of free and equal individuals who pursue meaningful aims."
(5) The entry says "In "Outline of the Critique of Political Economy," Marx's stated that "All the bourgeois economists are aware of is that production can be carried on better under the modern police than e.g. on the principle of might makes right. They forget only that this principle is also a legal relation, and that the right of the stronger prevails in their 'constitutional republics' as well, only in another form." - a CTRL+F search of the full text of this treatise (located here: http://archive.org/stream/acontributiontot00marxuoft/acontributiontot00marxuoft_djvu.txt) does not find the claimed passage appearing in any of it.

This has never been an article that reflects particularly well on us. As stated at its first AfD, it was started as a joke article linked from Steven Seagal. I wouldn't usually nominate an article that had passed two AfDs, but they were both from 2006. If you were around then, you may remember how different standards were back then (n.b. WP:AADD didn't exist the first time and had just been created the second). I thought it's worth taking a look at the article again. Many of the keep votes back then weren't especially serious (not that the delete votes were much better).
This whole article is a bit of a WP:SYNTH problem. Not that we invented the concept of a groin attack, but the article is basically just an indiscriminate collection of facts about attacks to the groin. It's very poorly referenced because there's not much to say in WP:RS about groin attacks. The stringing together of some physiological information, mention of its use in YouTube comedy, and a biblical reference just add up to a sloppy, amateurish effort that really isn't encyclopedic. At best, it could be a paragraph at Strike (attack). I'll leave the issue alone if consensus is that the 2006 AfDs were rightly decided. -- BDD ( talk) 01:05, 1 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Non-notable youtube personality. All the refs are to youtube or IMDB. Coverage on IMDB coverage is unusually comprehensive, because she uses it as her CV. What notability there is rests on coming runnerup in a reality tv show (which is explicitly covered by WP:REALITYTV as an argument to avoid) and two awards (a non-notable scholarship and best film at a very minor film festival).
