Seems to be a fictional person TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:39, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

*Keep and expand. He's a YouTube personality, so he exists. Although this does not mean he's notable, I'm going with keep, as the nom statement said the article should be deleted over concerns of existence. Airplaneman ^talk 23:05, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

• • On second thought... merge verifiable info to iJustine. Airplaneman ^talk 23:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
    • What verifiable info is there?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:18, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
      • ...good point. Well, I failed in my reasoning here. Looks like nothing needs to be merged. Sorry about that :( Delete Airplaneman ^talk 03:43, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable, Airplaneman's reasons for keeping are highly problematic. Woogee (talk) 23:07, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
• Delete I'm tempted to say "hoax" but that's a strong word, so I'll just say "unverified". It's hard to assume good faith for this article's creator, User:Hlebz, since he 1) has been cited numerous times for vandalism, 2) created an earlier article about himself called Hleb Zarouski which was speedy-deleted, 3) has tried repeatedly to insert himself into the article on iJustine (to whom he claims to be married even though she lives in California and he is an 8th-grade student in Canada per linkedin), and 4) he just deleted the AfD notice from the article. (I restored it.) --MelanieN (talk) 20:34, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
• Delete He may be a real person, but he is not a notable one and not married to iJustine.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:01, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I just deleted the reference to iJustine - since he admits to being 13 years old. --MelanieN (talk) 01:16, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

User:Hlebz deleted the AfD notice again - as well as adding a disruptive edit. Someone else reverted. It may be necessary to call this user to the attention of administrators if he keeps this up. --MelanieN (talk) 14:22, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

On review, I found additional false information in the article: The one reference he cites, from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, credits his "signature phrase" to iJustine, not to iHlebis; in fact it does not mention iHlebis at all. The infobox gives his birth year as 1980, but he himself added the category "1996 births"; the latter date is confirmed by the linkedin item above, which says he will graduate this year from a K-through-8 school. And if any doubt remains, you can see a picture of him here. I was tempted to remove the false information from the article, but let's just kill it once and for all. I'd like to see a a speedy-delete or snowball-delete, since the page is clearly fraudulent. --MelanieN (talk) 14:33, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
