[edit] Roidiphidol

Unverifiable article by author of Qualculus on vfd just above. No google hits] at all. Original research at best. Probable hoax. Michael Ward 18:58, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as patent nonsense or vandalism (hoax), this is beyond original research. Wyss 19:26, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Speedy delete, agree with Wyss. Dbenbenn 19:27, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Comment I agree that this might be a speedy, but I'd like to keep it around until Qualculus (by the same author) is clearly settled. This article weakens the author's credibility, so it is helpful as circumstantial evidence. Michael Ward 19:33, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax, but do not speedy for reasons indicated by Michael Ward. -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:39, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, not a speedy. --fvw* 19:41, 2004 Dec 28 (UTC)
• Delete. You know what I said under Qualculus? Now I'm certain it's a hoax. JRM 19:43, 2004 Dec 28 (UTC)
• Delete, hoax. Rje 00:03, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete as a hoax but it is not patent nonsense as defined in the speedy criteria, nor is a hoax vandalism as defined.Dr Zen 05:36, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Going by the criteria, I interpret this hoax as bad-faith, silly or stealthy vandalism, a speedy. Wyss 22:41, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Delete. This looks more and more like a hoax. Andris 13:35, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Probable hoax as well. GRider\^talk 17:47, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Comment. Perhaps this is one of those vandalisms to prove a point, wherein an author will insert something wrong into Wikipedia and see how long it takes to get reverted. Originally it was simple crapflooding, but lately it's turned to pleasant-sounding nonsense. I think we're being tested. Bad faith on the user's part. grendel|khan 22:21, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)
