This article is a WP:POVFORK created by copying verbatim (without attribution per WP:COPYWITHIN) from three other Wikipedia articles, while many of the citations were not also copied leaving much of the content unsourced. The name of the article is the title of a writing from a 17th century Portuguese Jesuit and is not a phrase used elsewhere or in present time.
Specifically ( this version):
- "History" section paragraphs 1-4 & 6 were taken verbatim from the
Tigray Region article. The 5th paragraph (starting
By the beginning of the 19th century
) was copied verbatim from the Tigrayans article. - Paragraph 1 of section "First mention of Tigray in ancient sources" was taken verbatim from Tigray Province. Paras 2-4 were taken verbatim from Tigrayans with the citations stripped out of it.
- The section "Rulers of Tigray" was copied verbatim from Tigray Province.
There was discussion on the article's talk page that the article was a hoax, and I was unable to verify much content until I realized it was a poor "copy job" from elsewhere, taken out of context and with some of the citations missing or moved around. Not salvageable. Platonk ( talk) 03:32, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. Wikipedia should not host historical hoaxes.-- Ermenrich ( talk) 14:07, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete a comical hoax article, and the creator's other edits and article creations should be investigated. Dawit S Gondaria ( talk) 19:01, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to Tigray Region -- The title is a conceivable search term, though Reino is likely to be Portuguese for kingdom. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:14, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:POVFORK, WP:COPYWITHIN, WP:OR, WP:SYNTH. To add to Dawit's comment above: User:Thingsomyipisntvisable is also subject to an investigation into a series of copyvios on Commons (where nominator Platonk has also claimed that Thingsomyipisntvisable's two maps of Tigr are 'bunk'); their disruptive behaviour appears persistent and a threat to the project.
