[edit] Hanna Barbera Award

Hanna Barbera Award (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I tried prodding this, but it was opposed by an anonymous editor. This appears to be a joke page. Note that the wording is quite similar to that of Emmy Awards, even the listing of the presenting organizations (see the first revision in case this changes). By a random resume on the web[1], Hanna Barbera Awards may actually exist, but I'm not convinced this article actually describes the real thing. No reliable sources, and no sources at all to back up the description of the award. Delete NickelShoe (Talk) 15:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, smells like a hoax to me. Certainly has no sources to back up its claims. Arkyan • (talk) 15:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I find it interesting that one of the editors even added the Category "Fake Awards" to the article. Wildthing61476 15:39, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This is weird. The article creator jacks up his own userpage, by putting the "blocked" tagged on his own site. I did a google search for "hanna barbera awards" and couldn't find anything. Doesn't appear to be a real award. In addition, there is a Fake Awards category. WP:HOAX --sumnjim talk with me·changes 17:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong & Speedy Delete - If the article in question comes into an AfD and no one knows whether or not it exists, then it certainly and instantaneously infringes WP:NOTE. Most probably a non-existent award. NSR77 TC 19:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • And the winner of this category is: Delete. Hoax. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 20:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, hoax-- Not that I can blame the hoaxter for trying, but a good prank has to be as much fun to read as it was to write. Mandsford 22:54, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete It really does sound like a hoax, and has no references to back up the statements made. — Wenli 22:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Television-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 10:48, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Snow Delete Compare this article to Emmy Awards and you'll find that the HB awards is simply a joke C/P of the first sections of the Emmys articles. As jokey/hoaxy (joaxy? :D ) as it gets. 216.201.119.71 17:11, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete Checking the history of the user behind this article shows him to be a vandal-only account, so the creator should be blocked indef as well. JuJube 08:02, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Speedy Delete per author's request. JuJube 19:02, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete Wikia is not a reliable source, and there is hardly any non wiki search result on the internet. Hence it's very likely to be a hoax and could be speedily deleted.--Kylohk 15:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
