[edit] Zartez Sol
An extrasolar planet around which astronomers have somehow discovered 13 moons, including "Agamemnon a magnetic rock and Atlas a giant globe of Copper Sulphate crystal". Wikipedia is not for planets made up in school one day. Prod deleted as the only edit of a brand new account, so here we are. —Celithemis 00:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Google brings in zero hits. Great name for a Superman villain, not for a planet. --Ozgod 01:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

- Delete I only see Google hits in German (Zartez Sol), and only 14 at that. This looks like a hoax to me. --Transfinite 01:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete hoaxalicious. JuJube 01:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. The article creator appears to be a Halo fan. Perhaps he got the idea for this article somewhere similar to this. But there are no sources, and no indication that there could be or ever will be sources, so I'm thinking it is probably a hoax. —Carolfrog 01:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete as nonsense, and so tagged. EliminatorJR Talk 02:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- The speedy deletion criterion for patent nonsense specifically excludes hoaxes. —Celithemis 02:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

- Fair enough, though there's a fine line between hoax and patent nonsense. I've removed the CSD, not that it'll make any difference in the end. EliminatorJR Talk 02:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

- We need to get that policy changed. Obvious hoaxes are a waste of time to send to AFD. As such, delete --Haemo 04:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, hoaxes can be speedy deleted, although maybe not as "nonsense." Most of the time, they're vandalism. They're not "simple vandalism" (putting "PENIS" all over an article), but they are still vandal joy. At least that's what I've seen in the past. Utgard Loki 13:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. The subject of the article is made up, violates WP:NOT. --Nevhood 04:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete. per above. Real96 04:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete as patent nonsense. So tagged. Sr13 (T|C) 07:56, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, or perhaps because the image of Sean Connery in a loincloth is ... no, wait, that's Zardoz. --Dhartung | Talk 08:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per above. Hoax PeaceNT 16:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
