Delete hoax article about a supposed Nobel Prize winner, was tagged speedy but despite much debate suspected or real hoaxes are not speedy candidates. Carlossuarez46 01:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - I nominated it for speedy deletion, apparently incorrectly. The creator (Phoenix74x) vandalized several other articles in a clear attempt to slip it past casual observers, despite the patent nonsense that it contains. The subject is claimed to be a 2006 Nobel laureate in Medicine, however the Nobel Foundation's official list says otherwise. Frankly, it's a shame that this article will last the 5 days this process requires. RossPatterson 01:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as per vandalism policy under WP:CSD. Given that we have the actual list of laureates from the Nobel foundation that confirms this is a hoax, can we just break out the WP:SNOW-shovel and delete? . --Bfigura (talk) 03:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom hoax. Harlowraman 04:11, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Blatant hoax. Agree there seem grounds for speedying under WP:CSD, which states blatant hoaxes can be speedied as vandalism. Espresso Addict 07:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. Clearly false, so WP:IGNORE. Seth Bresnett • (talk) 11:42, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
