[edit] Flarbenslarb

Flarbenslarb (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I'm nominating flarbenslarb for deletion because I'm pretty sure it's a hoax. I had previously prodded it, but the creator removed the tag and added a link to a page which contains nothing other than the same one line of text. Flarbenslarb gets 0 Google hits, and the page says it's a Hawaiian fruit, which seems pretty unlikely with a name that's full of letters that don't exist in Hawaiian.

  • Strong Delete per nom. Possibly speediable as A1 - not quite G1 material, as it's at least coherent. Dicdef at best, though, and almost certainly a hoax. Tevildo 18:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Hoaxtastic. I certainly wouldn't be against some sort of speedy deletion, though I don't believe it fits any criteria. -- Kicking222 18:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per nom. At best, nonsense. Budgiekiller 18:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete and WP:DENY. ju66l3r 18:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Brand-new single use (?) account, likely hoax. Caknuck 20:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Putting prank articles in WP is vandalism and examples should be speedily deleted preferably by the most gruesome method available. Tubezone 20:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment There's a bit of a fuzzy area here about the speediability of hoaxes -- WP:CSD says specifically that hoaxes aren't speediable (at least under G1), but then WP:VANDAL says that hoaxes are a form of vandalism. So I figured I'd bring it to AfD, even though I'm thoroughly in agreement that it deserves speedy deletion... if the next admin to wander by decides it qualifies, that's fine with me.
