Charles j. willington

Pretty clear-cut WP:HOAX. Prod removed by anon. The backstory is somewhat clever, the spirit is definitely there, and parts of the linked LiveJournal are in the general direction of "amusing", but this ain't the Onion - not in terms of writing quality nor in terms of notability.

Do Not DeleteThe journal is real...It is one of my favorite weekly publications. I have several hard copies and am even more excited to find out that they have a website. Charles Willington is a genius!
Do Not Delete The National Journal of Truth actually exists. I have physically read the hard copy. It is locally distributed and does not have a strong online presence, but it is definitely real. Also I have met Charles J. Willington in person. He exists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.204.78.74 (talk) 03:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Delete The National Journal of Truth does really exist and has been distributed at The University At Buffalo in New York for, at the very least, several years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.215.27.23 (talk) 03:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Probably not a hoax, but it is a non-notable person inventing hoaxes. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:55, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:V and WP:BIO. Only relevant Ghit was a cached version of the LiveJournal blog. • Gene93k (talk) 13:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Likely not a hoax, but he fails bio policy. The "Journal of Truth" is simply a livejournal blog... _David^WS _(contribs) 14:36, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable. Edward321 (talk) 15:07, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete (G3) — Wikipedia is not the place to write stuff on stuff you make up. MuZemike (talk) 17:55, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:BIO and WP:V, that hit is not relevant to this topic, because anybody can type those Live Blog entries, so this article is non-notable as well. Hairy Perry 18:00, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete G3 does apply. JBsupreme (talk) 18:07, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
