  • Speedy delete as obvious hoax. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Hoaxes are explicitly ineligible for speedy deletion. --Hyperbole 21:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Maybe I was mistaken? I thought that extremely obvious hoaxes, like one that uses a photo of Tupac Shakur and identifies the subject as socializing with dead people, were speediable under {db-nonsense}. If I was wrong... well, I still think it should be deleted, just more slowly. -FisherQueen (Talk) 01:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • CSD says that "nonsense" does "not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes." (emphasis mine). --Hyperbole 02:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no sources, no references, no verifiability Alf photoman 21:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

  • delete but the rationale for not doing it as speedy is that for even the most unlikely things, someone may recognize it on wider exposure. There have been one or two times when I have almost prod'ed something as a hoax only to check again -- and just escaped making of fool of myself. DGG
