[edit] Neopets Bankruptcy

Neopets Bankruptcy (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Wouldn't even pass notability on WikiNews. —Cuiviénen 00:51, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia is not a news source - Ocatecir 01:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as deliberate misinformation. Neopets is owned by Viacom, and could not "go bankrupt" unless Viacom itself did, which is unlikely in the extreme. This looks to me like a trolling attempt to rile Neopets fans. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Strong delete. Fails WP:V in a very serious way -- NO sources -- despite inclusion of quotations. In fact, I would go so far as to say this is a probable hoax. Neopets is owned by Viacom and therefore cannot be about to "go bankrupt," unless Viacom is. A closure of that division of the company would not be described as "real financial trouble" or "bankruptcy" by an "insider" (see this prodded article, created by the same user who created Neopets Bankruptcy for more so-called info on the alleged "insider"). Google search for "neopets bankruptcy" returns a massive 2 hits. Removing the quotes results in many more hits but the first few are unrelated and I haven't checked the rest. --N Shar 01:28, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Changed vote to speedy per Bwithh. If speedy is denied, the original opinion stands. --N Shar 02:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Delete This seems to be a hoax. See above comments by N Shar and Andrew Lenahan. Ganfon 01:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Neopets cannot go "bankrupt" because there is NO CURRENCY SYSTEM! It is an online game that happens to just be programmed into servers...how can the GAME run out of money? It should be deleted because it seems to be nonsense. --Root2 01:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

The article means the business operation behind the game, not literally the game world itself. Even so, Neopets cannot really go bankrupt itself unless Viacom, its massive parent, does so too. Bwithh 01:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as attack page Basically a stupid hoax attack page created by a vandal which can potentially cause legal problems with Viacom. (why are hoaxers so often allowed to get away unpunished?) Bwithh 01:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete G10. So tagged. --Dennisthe2 03:11, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Wikipedia isn't a place for rumors, either. No opinion on creator's intentions. --Shirahadasha 03:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
