[edit] Forever Red (movie)

Article about a nonexistent Power Rangers movie. The article creator has a history of creating hoax articles. I declined a speedy deletion since hoaxes don't fall under any of the speedy deletion criteria, but I'm more than happy to list this here. Coredesat 21:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, but I'm sure that there's got to be a CSD for this article, if not WP:IAR.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment This is not actually a hoax, so much as it is miswritten. There is an episode of the Power Rangers called Forever Red which actually already has an article. A much better written one. So, either delete, or redirect. Mister.Manticore 21:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The article implies that it is a direct-to-video/theatrical release, not the episode that already has a page. —Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
    • That would be why I said it's miswritten. I'm being charitable and assuming that it is not deliberate, but merely confusion. Mister.Manticore 21:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
      • The author originally linked this page to the page of the episode. I know it's ABF, but based on his history of edits, I'm saying it's deliberate. —Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Well, whether it is or isn't, that's not something to be handled here. Still, you might get a CSD by noting that this is a duplicate of another article. Mister.Manticore 02:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
          • Comment If it were a duplicate (which it isn't, if you compare it to Forever Red), I wouldn't have brought it here. The article specifically says it's a direct-to-DVD movie, which it is not. It doesn't help that the article mentions an unverifiable extra. --Coredesat 04:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
            • I say it's a mix of duplication and inaccuracy, and am reserving judgement on whether or not it is a deliberate hoax, but whatever, the real point was you really should have mentioned that original Power Rangers episode in your nomination. It would have added some useful clarity. Mister.Manticore 14:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No IMDB listing for movie. No other reference. Not notable even if not a hoax. The episode "Power Rangers Wild Force: Forever Red (#1.34)" does not seem to be relevant to this discussion. Bejnar 05:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The episode from which this article seems to be borrowing its content is not relevant? Coulda fooled me. Mister.Manticore 14:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I know that you're trying to WP:AGF in all of this, but "Forever Red is a 2006 direct-to-DVD movie based on the Power Rangers episode of the same name" is an obvious and deliberate attempt to introduce false information.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 10:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, I agree it is misleading information, but without mindreading, I can't say it's deliberate. It probably is, but AfD isn't the place to deal with it anyway. WP:RFI would be a better choice. Mister.Manticore 01:06, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
