• Speedy delete as a hoax. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 18:12, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

  Comment "Hoax" is not a speedy delete criterion. Please choose an ordinary delete, or a valid speedy criterion. Thank you. ➨ ЯЄDVERS 20:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

  Very well, Delete. However, I maintain that since it is not one of the CSDs, it ought to be. Information put on the encyclopedia specifically to deceive the reader should be kept for as short a time as is humanly possible. Material that compromises Wikipedia's integrity is harmful to the project as a whole, and in my opinion, speedy deletion should most certainly be applicable to hoaxes. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 12:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
