[edit] The Running of the Fools

Fictional content is apparently not speedy-worthy! Oh well, take your pick: hoax article, unverifiable (no sources listed or found on Google), OR. Ziggurat 01:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Nope, WP:HOAX is not a CSD, but it sure is a great point for this AfD. Transwiki to Uncyclopedia? alphaChimp ^laudare 01:57, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Alphachimp. SynergeticMaggot 02:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete — I hate saying to delete long well written articles, but this article presents this "fiction" as a truth. I am going to forget putting up search counts as this got at maximun 57 hits (yahoo). No valid references. WP:V applies here. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 02:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Unverifiable by definition. It is kind of well written, though. TheronJ 02:23, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I would have suggested so, but WP:SPEEDY specifically notes that "This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes." This is either fictional material, or a hoax, but in either case we can't really legitimately call it patent nonsense. Ziggurat 04:19, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete The best argument for this is the fact that the author personally added a link to The Running of the Fools in WP's Hoax article. --Pagana 05:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete. It's not patent nonsense, but it's pretty damn close. Blatantly fails WP:HOAX. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 06:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as bollocks. It reads like a piece of Scientology scripture. Byrgenwulf 06:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as per Pagana. --BrownHairedGirl 07:01, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I liked the section on "The Battle", though. I think that the Wiki project on WWII could learn a thing or two from this article. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 13:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above reasons. --Gray Porpoise 18:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
