[edit] Sleep cancer

Sleep cancer (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is entirely unreferenced, and might constitute a hoax. John254 21:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Delete This article is a hoax. There would be sections about it on medical sites(ie: webMD.com) if it were real. Icestorm815 21:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

• Cancer of the sleep? Arctic foxes? Delete as nonsense - I'd even argue that this is speediable as either nonsense or silly vandalism. Iain99^{Balderdash and piffle} 21:38, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, per nom. _{Hydrogen Iodide (HI!)} 21:45, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as certain WP:HOAX. Even if the condition described exists, it clearly has nothing to do with cancer and so the unscientific terminology in the title gives this one away as a hoax. Cosmo0 21:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
• Tagged it for a speedy as vandalism: the text is modified from the article Delirium. Thomjakobsen 21:52, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Good find! It had the feel of modified text from another article, but I couldn't find which one - obviously I was searching for the wrong sentences. Iain99^{Balderdash and piffle} 21:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, hoaxes and fiction are not eligible for speedy deletion.--Fabrictramp 21:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

But surely lifting the text wholesale from another article puts it under "silly vandalism"? Thomjakobsen 22:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as hoax, fiction, or not notable due to lack of ghits with this meaning. Take your pick.--Fabrictramp 21:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
