[edit] Agn-Dalian bridge

Delete - 99.99999999% certain this is a hoax. The U.S. never had troops stationed anywhere near Hanoi during the Vietnam War, "Agn-Dailan" is not a Vietnamese nor French word, the French did not have Foreign Legion troops in Hanoi in 1970, the French squadron leaders name is Doremee (a doe, a deer, a female deer...get it?), the Marines don't take hostages, the French hostages were whipped in the town square of Hanoi (righttttt), and the only references to it are this and wikimirrors.--Nobunaga24 03:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

• delete Very unlikely set of events, no references, no answers to my skeptical questions previously left on its talk page. Hmains 04:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• delete Appears to be a hoax. no references, and very few hits for an Agn-Dalian Bridge while searching for sources... --_{Hdt83 Chat} 04:44, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Maxamegalon2000 05:06, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• Mine for demolition, fairly obvious hoax. The US and RVN military never really deployed beyond the DMZ. The Battle of Khe Sanh was pretty much the closest major ground action -- several hundred miles from Hanoi. --Dhartung | Talk 05:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• Explode it - complete hoax. --Hirohisat ^Talk 05:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• LOL -- Great hoax. Infact, I thought about speedying it, but I just wouldn't want to be the person to delete it..... it's kinda sad that it has to go, you know.. --Stephanie ^talk 09:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• WP:BJAODN - hoax, nothing to verify this existed but mildly amusing. Pedro |  Chat  09:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Hmains & Hdt83. No WP:RS & completely unverifiable. --Evb-wiki 16:07, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• Demolish the article, flog its author. --Targeman 18:06, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax per above. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 20:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete Falls flat on its face completely as nom says. What would the French be doing in Hanoi in 1970? French involvement, IIRC, for all intents and purposes ended in Vietnam in the mid-50s. It seems to be more a way to weave in something about some stupid wrestling team, more than anything. Pat Payne
• Delete There are quite a few authors who have to be enjoying this debate (if you can call a unanimous vote a debate). Sad news for the hoaxsters... a Google search indicates that almost nobody picked this up, though I congratulate them for creating something that stayed up for eight months before being noticed. A six-pack of Baldock Beer is in order. Mandsford 23:00, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
