• Delete — Hoax, as per nom. If she was a likely presidential candidate, I believe there would be at least something online. I'm going to watch that user who created it. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 06:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

  • There is no speedy deletion criterion that covers out-and-out fabrication, no matter how blatant. If I write an article saying that "Alfred E. Neuman was the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1956 and is widely considered the greatest thinker of the 20th Century"; it can't be speedied because (a) it isn't patent nonsense and (b) it asserts notability. The patent nonsense criterion specifically says that being "fiction" is different from being "nonsense." --Russ Blau (talk) 17:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I disagree. Check the Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion page, where Patent Nonsense is cited as a General criteria. And, on the Wikipedia:Patent nonsense page hoaxes (excluding pages on real, notable hoaxes) are described as patent nonsense. A hoax is defined as "an attempt to trick an audience into believing that something false is real" in the Wikipedia:Hoaxes page. Therefore my vote goes for a speedy deletion. - Aditya Kabir 19:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually on the patent nonsense page it clearly states that haoxs and not examples of patent nonsense. It is listed in the "Not to be confused with" section of the page. I don't think this article should be kept however, this is not pattent nosense. --67.71.79.236 21:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
