[edit] Hibbit

Created by Slimy earthworm (talk • contribs), who seems to have created a number of vanity/hoax articles also nominated for Afd, see his contributions. -- Curps 18:07, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

• definitely not made up. well known creation funded by the university of melbourne. Can provide images.Slimy earthworm 18:27, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

• • ok maybe that's better. accreditted the character and not the creators yet. Deleted all their info but i'll repost it when their name is more renowned, which will be very soon in any case. Just saves the hassle and i can gather more information for reposting it later.Slimy earthworm 19:19, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

• • Slimy earthworm, we need verifiability. Put something in the article that the reader, or me, or anybody else, can use to verify that the facts in it are accurate. If this creation was "funded by the University of Melbourne," can you give us the web URL of a University press release about the grant, or something like that? What was the University's reason for funding it? And I'd strongly suggest that if you want the article to be kept, you should give us some evidence that the Hibbit is famous. Has it been mentioned in a Melbourne newspaper? Dpbsmith (talk) 19:34, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless I see some verifiability. I smell a hoax.--Isotope23 19:40, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Not patent nonsense (alas), but an almost certain hoax. Delete with extreme prejudice unless Slimy earthworm can bust out some solid verification. Lord Bob 19:43, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per above. As an Australian, I have never heard of it and it isn't on any comics page of any major Australian newspaper. Capitalistroadster 03:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete more hoaxing. Dottore So 07:06, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
