• Speedy delete hoax Simonkoldyk 21:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment I originally planned to speedy it, but apparently hoaxes are not speedy delete candidates. If I've missed something in policy, please let me know. Thanks. - Eron 21:40, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment WP:VANDAL says Silly vandalism - Creating joke or hoax articles.. is considered vandalism., however it appears a some admins don't act on that, probably because it's not directly spelled out in WP:CSD, so I guess it's kind of a judgement call on their part.

• If we can't speedy delete, maybe we can accelerate its process, perhaps? This comes close to nonsense (almost as a bad joke), which is grounds for speedy deletion. B.Wind 01:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Sadly, no. "Patent nonsense and gibberish, an unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content. This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes." - Eron 03:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

• delete, and recommend some tweaking of the speedy-delete/nonsense category.Cantras 03:20, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• delete, While not a hoax, the haldibug is just the nickname for a group of unidentified insects infesting some of the older buildings on the Royal Military Collage of Canada campus. If articles on the campus were added it might be under consideration to keep the article as there are some associated traditions but the article does not have enough support on it's own.
