Clear example of a spoof article on a non-existent entity Damac (talk) 19:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Rapid delete: When this article was first created, the subject's date of birth was given as "1 october, 1964". Now its "1 October 1988". The article's creator has never contributed anything else[1] nor has another one of the page's supporters (User talk:Jispir) been up to much. A Google search produces very little in terms of independent, reliable sources[2]. We've even had claims that this guy appeared on Southpark.[3]--Damac (talk) 19:13, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • G3 With all the absurd claims being made about this guy, and given the total lack of sources, I would say it's very likely a WP:HOAX blatant misinformation even if the person really does exist (they do have a Freewebs website at least). So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Near Speedy delete Barely any assertion of real notability. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:03, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletions. – David Eppstein (talk) 02:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Given the lack of third-party sources and the WP:BLP policy, the unique claims about the "19-year-old Greek art prodigy who is now pursuing a music career in the Netherlands" should be immediately removed if not substantiated. This is either promotional, a hoax, or suffers from notability problems... either way, it should go. --Marcinjeske (talk) 04:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. As there are no reliable sources cited, I am persuaded that the article does not comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 18:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
