[edit] Husqvar Belle
Apparent hoax. Very unlikely that a Russian train from 1922 (or is it 1899?) should have such a Swedish-sounding name. No google hits for anything relating to trains or railroads apart from Wikipedia clones; but the first google entry for "Husqvar Belle" is "Husqvar Belle -- The Band", which may be a possible source of inspiration for the creator. (Note that edits to this page are the only contributions of the original creator.) Also, the Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum does not seem to know anything about it. In short, if you manage to convince me that this is real, I will gladly change my vote. For now, delete. Ekjon Lok 20:25, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Further note. Original version of the article contained even more outrageous claims, such that the train "was used to transport Stalin's body in 1961". This was questioned by some editor and removed, but the rest of the article allowed to stand. Ekjon Lok 20:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as hoax failing WP:V. Among other things, Russian has no "q", and the unusual name is identical to "Sheffield's hottest rock band". Hmmmm. --Dhartung | Talk 05:57, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

- Delete — Zero unique google.com hits shows me that if it were real, it is not very notable. Unless there are ANY sources, I have vote delete. -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 23:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
