[edit] Office of International Treasury Control

• Keep it, please - I am surprised that someone would like to delete the article. I posted it precisely because there is no much information going around about the OITC and the little there is seem to indicate it is a scam of which people should be warned. It seemed to me that Wikipedia could be a good place for people to pool data about it so that a more clear picture appears. I have conducted research and have included all information available, with links to newspapers that anyone can check. Please, don't ask to delete it before checking the links and considering the importance of people being able to access some information about this matter. Brintolin (Talk)

nn fake UN division, only 125 Ghits, admits it isn't verifiable. Rory096_(block) 00:18, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete - potentially a wikinews, needs much more research to make it an article - if the 'is' for real & breakking news, the location prob explains the low ghits for now.Bridesmill 01:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:V. Unverifiable, for all we know this could all be a hoax.--Jersey Devil 01:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unverifiable, hoax. --Terence Ong 03:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unverifiable Nortelrye 05:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Sheehan (Talk) 12:12, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I can't see what the problem is. Obviously the OITC is a scam, but it is verified that it is a scam with organisations like the UN having to make serious denials and references like Fiji govt.Tyrenius 13:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, rename, redirect, there is an article here about an international scam which probably gets past WP:CHILL, but current page title is misleading. Rename as OITC fraud (following Advance fee fraud aka 419 fraud). Deizio 15:57, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep It appears to be a viable stub, yet has some questionable notability. Kukini 18:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Sheesh, no kidding this organization is a hoax. This is an article about a notable hoax. RGTraynor 18:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. It shouldn't be deleted because it's a hoax; it should be deleted because it's a non notable hoax. Why would a notable hoax get only 125 Google hits? --Rory096_(block) 20:00, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep useful info Jordanmills 22:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, rename This is notable hoax if the UN has commented about it. Low Google hits may be because it is in Fiji. But, it needs to be renamed as per Deizio banta 01:42, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
