[edit] Tracy grezshnaw

Tracy grezshnaw (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Smells like a hoax, a feeling shared by Daniel.Bryant and Humblefool on IRC. Google gives no matches for the full name, and nothing links to it. I could be totally wrong about this, and if I am, feel free to close this nomination.

Just a note: suspected hoaxes aren't a criterion for speedy deletion. --Slowking Man 09:37, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Let's see: The image was uploaded by the author of the article, and says it was taken in 2006, meaning that the youth in question was supposed to be 46... Strong Delete. yandman 09:51, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete definite hoax, see the real Australian TV presenter Tracy Grimshaw (the article is virtually identical). --Canley 09:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Canley 09:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck and sh**s like a duck, it's spam. SkierRMH,10:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
It's not spam, it's a joke article. yandman 10:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as CSD G10 (attack page) or G3 (WP:VANDAL says "joke pages" are vandalism and would qualify as G3). I think the exclusion of hoaxes from CSD really means hoaxes put up in good faith, like Helius Project, rather than outright vandalism that "compromises the integrity" of WP.
