[edit] Dušan Jocić

Dušan Jocić (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

For all I know, this is either a hoax, or an unreferenced semi-attack article about NN person, (supposedly) BLP. Virtually no ghits; those few relate to a pupil, a cameraman, a forum member, or mistaken name of Serbian minister of interior Dragan Jočić. No related cyrillic hits either [1], alternate spelling. The article initially created by a SPA [2]. ZOMG, we had this stuff for 2 years, with many editors fixing the formatting and spelling???Duja► 08:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as hogwash. Extensive searching of relevant Google News Archive material finds nothing confirming any of the key facts in the article. If he's real, he fails WP:N and has been overlooked by every English-speaking journalist and war crimes investigator. --Dhartung | Talk 10:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Note that article refers to "death squad" aka "Heroj's Squad", and the article is the sole contribution of Heroj (talk · contribs). --Dhartung | Talk 10:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
      • Do we have "longest-standing hoax" award somewhere at WP:BJAODN :-p ? (Do we have BJAODN at all?) Duja► 11:17, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Check under WP:HOAX, in the links section. 68.39.174.238 04:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as likely hoax. Source it or lose it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:17, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax (check the first version of the article, and it's much more obvious) - and personally, it's extremely worrying just how long this article has been around unquestioned. It may well be the oldest hoax on the English Wikipedia. Terraxos 22:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
    • It's basically orphaned, and was categorized only to Category:Serbian people; I stumbled upon it when I was fixing double redirects for Dragaš. The editor who improved it (see Talk:Dušan Jocić) found it through "Random page". Once an orphaned hoax slips under RC patrol radar, it has fairly high chances of survival. Nevertheless, the contribution list includes at least a dozen Wikipedians, and this diff is also funny. Duja► 09:00, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax. --MaNeMeBasat 09:14, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
