*'''Keep''' - I think the logic is very flawed as to the rationale to delete. No matter what the original reason was to create, it does not anywhere resemble the original listing and it does not read as an advertisement, so that logic is flawed. Secondly, regardless of it being a hoax, it is notable. It was news worthy and covered by many RS over a long period of time. It meets the criteria for notable. - '''''[[User:Galatz|<span style="color: #000080">Galatz</span>]][[User_talk:Galatz|<span style="color: #FF0000"><sup>Talk</sup></span>]]''''' 22:04, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

This page was created as advertising by the developer of a hoax product called the "Shabbos App". It caused a small amount of controversy for a short period of time, but all of that controversy was predicated on there actually being such a thing as the "Shabbos App". There never was. The official website of the "app" is gone. This was all a clever trick. Wikipedia is not to be used in this way, and the momentary controversy caused by the creator of the hoax is hardly notable. - Lisa (talk - contribs) 19:57, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
