Hoax. There are zero Google hits for "Daphne Iris Willis", every single one of the links in the article is bogus. There is an unknown singer on Myspace named Daphne Willis... Corvus cornixtalk 00:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Nom says it all -- this article is hoaxlicious (can I get a trademark on that?). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as per WP:CSD#A7 and WP:HOAX. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 00:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete article and image. I would do so myself if I weren't going to dinner in a few minutes. In addition to the other evidence, the article and image represent the creator's sole contributions to Wikipedia—never a good sign. Newyorkbrad (talk) 01:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete Previous posters said it all. Even if that singer was the same person they mention in this article, the article says this person was born in 1910. She would be at least 97 years old right now, I don't think anyone in their nineties would want to do Hollywood and MySpace. It would probably be the last thing on their minds. ― LADY GALAXY 01:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete another day, another hoax. The fact that the image is of someone else pretty much shoots it in the foot Doc Strange (talk) 03:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Hoax, couldn't a single reference to this person anywhere.--Ѕandahl 07:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete - Ja, agree that it is a WP:HOAX. ScarianCall me Pat 16:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax. Note that hoaxes themselves do not come under any of the speedy deletion criteria. Lankiveil (complaints | disco) 02:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC).
