Further to my nomination of "2013 ITF Tennis Open" at AfD earlier, I have now come across "LN Tennis Open", likewise, what seems to be an intricately-built hoax. Again, there is no tennis tournament called the "LN Tennis Open", there was no event this year, nor was there in 2011 or 2012. This link, a search from the ITF website's calendar, shows that there were no tennis tournaments in Kraków, Poland, since 1 January 2011, nor are there any planned for the remainder of this year. There certainly weren't or aren't any $100,000 tournaments at all in Poland. Again, the players have no record of having taken part in a professional ITF-sanctioned tournament in Poland in March, and the users Leshnavoka (talk · contribs) and Elenkova (talk · contribs) seem to be related in creating this hoax in its intricacy and its related articles, which, as in the other AfD, I am co-nominating:

The best bit is, someone has actually gone to quite the trouble of creating these articles, and it is purely fiction. These tournaments didn't take place. Jared Preston (talk) 05:14, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Delete all as hoaxes: the fact that there's no mention of these so-called tournaments anywhere else (including on players' articles, usually) says enough. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 09:32, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete/Speedy Delete per nominator and Lukeno94. User:Pishotche and User:109.103.164.64 are also involved in these hoaxes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asilv (talk • contribs) 09:54, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
