[edit] Peter Sun

Possible hoax. I find no evidence that Peter Sun exists as described in this article. Joyous! | Talk 04:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete The construction of the article is a dead give away of a hoax, "born 30 Oct 1989...Peter Sun died in 1782 due to an overdose of pleasure. He got bored and poked his bow through his heart by accident. Peter died laughing. Hahahaha." Yanksox 04:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Born in 1989, died in 1782? Obvious hoax. --djrobgordon 04:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as obvious hoax GassyGuy 04:25, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete The whole "born in 1989, died in 1782" thing didn't give it away? Either vanity or nonsense, both speediable fuzzy510 04:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: The 1782 bit was added later [1], but he had his first teacher at 2? Yeah, right. Begone --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 04:27, 3 June 2006 (UTC) Ok I admin it's possible per below - still unverified though. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 05:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless verified. But hoax is not confirmed. As noted above, hoax text cited was insertion by vandal. Having a teacher at a very young age is also not a substantiation of a hoax or even unlikely [2]. --Fuhghettaboutit 04:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Agreed that there are child prodigies, but a 2 year old simply does not have the motor skills required to play such an instrument --AbsolutDan^(talk) 04:37, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

They may not have the motor skills to play much of anything, but that doesn't stop parents from hiring people to attempt to give them lessons (I've seen this personally ala yuppie "uber parents")--Fuhghettaboutit 04:48, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok I stand corrected (and humbled, and amazed, etc.): [3] --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 05:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment Maybe it's me, but I really do find anything that pushes children too far (like that) just very disgusting. Yanksox 05:03, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

CommentYou are not alone. Some of the worst behavior I have seen in this regard are sports parents, whose children instead of enjoying whatever sport they are in, hate it and are scared to go to games, because they "have to" perform well or be ridiculed and castigated.--Fuhghettaboutit 16:31, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment If it means anything to anyone, the edits made by the creator[4] are vandilsms, and methods of clogging "Peter Sun," into Wiki. Sounds like a Wikidream. Yanksox 04:44, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete with prejudice. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 08:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• I will die of an overdose of pleasure when someone speedy deletes this. Tagged as {{db-nonsense}}. Unverified, may be hoax. Kimchi.sg 16:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. "Peter Sun" violinist gives less than 10 matches. -- ReyBrujo 02:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
