[edit] Gelora Bung Tomo
Evidence found that the page may not be a hoax My Indonesian isn't great, but I've dug around and found a couple of Indonesian language sources, and one english language, demonstrating plans to build Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium. See Skyscraper city thread, with attached Indonesian language newspaper article, Surya Online article Mostlyharmless (talk) 21:45, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Delete - I'm fairly certain of the existence of plans to build this stadium; there's enough evidence for it on the web. I think it deserves an article. However, because this was created by a known vandal who likes to insert nonsense, we can't be sure of the information written here, and we're better off with it deleted. Once we take out everything that might be false we're left with just a few words. Mostlyharmless (talk) 20:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, given the numerous hoax articles and vandalism this user and his numerous sock puppets have added to Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Vitrox92), the evidence presented to support the existence of Gelora Bung Tomo will need to be very high. A post or two on a discussion forum is not sufficient reliable source for articles created by bona fide users, let alone low-life sock puppeters. (Caniago (talk) 03:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC))
- Delete. If a stadium on this scale was being planned I'm sure it would turn up in a Google news archive search. If we were to believe this editor Indonesia would be totally covered by airports and stadia by now. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:28, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
