I believe this article is a hoax. I can't find any information on IMDB, and can't find the information on the site of Universal pictures, to which a link is supplied as a reference either. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 23:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete and BJAODN: This was speedy deleted earlier today. Flea as voice capture for shark? -Carados (talk) 23:46, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment it was deleted per: 'A bit of A7, A1 and a dash of WP:IAR. No prejudice to recreation if some facts can be found and referenced.' I wouldn't know how to tag for that. (not that I disagree with deleting this one fast, it seems like a full blown vandalism hoax. but then again, there is some pretty out there stuff, that turns out true (or more importantly, verifiable).

Comment: Well, that is the exact reason, but it did come about from a speedy deletion tag.-Carados (talk) 00:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

At the moment, it's a Spielberg produced, Peter Jackson directed, Tom Cruise starring film in pre-production and absolutely no sources or news hits. In the real world, that is a tad unlikely. Ummm, first time I think I have ever said this, but let it snow. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense has been deleted here. --Phirazo 18:06, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. If you start making up titles for crossover films, you will get to this one fairly quickly. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Whether it's a hoax or not, it fails notability guidelines on films. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 00:26, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax, funny as it may be. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 01:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I gotta admit, the thought of Andy Serkis and Michael Balzary as the "voices" for King Kong and for Jaws made me laugh. Kind of like a live action Jabberjaw. Mandsford (talk) 01:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, Hoax. It's just too unbelievable. Ryan4314 (talk) 02:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Although the company getting the contract for Kong's waterwings would be made for life. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 02:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. JJL (talk) 03:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete hoaxalicious. JuJube (talk) 06:06, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Althopugh hoaxes are not criteria for speedy, my originaial rationale (above) when I deleted still stands. I'd say speedy, but It's best to let this run it's course. Pedro :  Chat  08:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - This is embarrassing. It is articles such as this that bring Wikipedia's reputation for veracity into question. I can't believe this hasn't been speedied. Jeffpw (talk) 15:49, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment Although I proposed one, there is no speedy deletion criterion for this kind of articles. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 15:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete a malicious hoax that was already speedily deleted, and 5VH9 (talk · contribs) should be blocked for continuing to write out lies. Alientraveller (talk) 21:31, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as a clear hoax with no verifiable sources and an unfathomable premise. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 21:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete As hoax. From what i can tell, 5VH9 is a big hoax creator--B5JH (talk) 02:04, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
