[edit] Train-Driver Superbowl
No proof that this movie exists. [Check Google hits] Google search for "Train-Driver Superbowl" brings up only another Wikipedia article about Owen Wilson. Search for "John Effchrane" results in same article. IMDB shows nothing. Contested prod. ... discospinster talk 18:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

- I sure don't see any evidence this movie even exists (Or will exist, according to the article) Delete unless notability can be established. Eeblefish 05:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Until verifiable sources appear, this is a crystal ball article. Delete with proviso that article may be re-posted when verifiable sourcing appears. Alba 05:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Without sources, it cannot be kept. YechielMan 05:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete until real information about this film appears. I also agree with the above comment that sources are needed. fraggle 16:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as speedy as allowed - I could not find any information connecting Superbowl and/or Owen Wilson and/or Casey Wurzbach and/or John Effchrane and/or Ed Asner, each mentioned in the article. This appears to be a hoax created essentially by a single purpose account that provides apparently false information about living persons. The explanation given by the article's creator [1] is implausible - the idea that Dreamworks' first mention anywhere of this purported $140,000,000 movie would be through an intern's post on Wikipedia to "gauge the publics reaction" is far fetched. The article's creator admits to creating the movie poster image used in the article (see poster licensing), further supporting the idea that this article is a hoax. The article states that filming is now going on in Los Angeles, but Film LA has no record of it. Also, the fact that the article image includes the name "Effchrane", which could mean fuck John Chrane does not help this article. By asserting these actors are in this movie, others in the entertainment industry may be less willing to approach them for their own projects. Thus, keeping this article on Wikipedia may go directly to the livelihood of many of these living people, raising WP:BLP concerns. However, speedy delete of hoaxes may require a similar opinion of several editors. -- Jreferee 16:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
