[edit] Arnold the Palm Tree

Arnold the Palm Tree (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I can find absolutely nothing else about this character. While the claims may be true, this article faces a serious verifiability problem - and a likely notability one too. The Evil Spartan 21:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as nonsense. Delete as hoax. "Arnold the palm tree" gets ONE Ghit, and that's this page, oddly enough. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 21:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Sorry, but I'm afraid it's not nonsense. It may be a fraud, or a hoax, but it's at least coherent enough to be a bit more than nonsense. FrozenPurpleCube 21:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I'd love to speedy it myself but some folks are demanding A7 be hyperstrictly applied. Also, MM makes a decent point about nonsense. But the article needs to go.--JodyB _{yak, yak, yak} 21:43, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as I can't find any evidence that any such cartoon ever existed. Nor any for the purported creator, Sid Fortunes. FrozenPurpleCube 21:50, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, nothing found in Google Books or Google News Archive, fails WP:V. Ridiculous hoaxes, however silly or obvious, don't fall under the nonsense rule, for good reason. --Dhartung | Talk 21:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:V - put simply if nothing can be found on it then it's obviously not verifiable.--danielfolsom 22:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Smells like a Hoax and if not looks very nn. The only page is redirected to a Wikipedia bot sub-page.--JForget 22:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as unsourced and possibly WP:MADEUP. Dbromage [Talk] 23:28, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This has "hoax" painted all over it. Not even on IMDB. Spellcast 09:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Television-related deletions. -- the wub "?!" 14:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator, smells like SOMETHING, but I'm not sure that smell is a hoax. Burntsauce 21:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
