Duvision

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. I'm pretty positive this is a hoax. Google for Duvision Israel gets no relevant hits, which seems unlikely if the contents are to be believed. — Gwalla | Talk 03:45, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Hoax. Notice link to Gal Vardi which was deleted ostensibly due to lack of sources, and information on which is unavailable elsewhere. Mistercow 03:55, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Hoax. Certainly not a candidate for speedy deletion, though. Pburka 04:04, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. The deletion of Gal Vardi is somewhat suspicious. The logs simply show that User:Redwolf24 deleted it as (nonsense). But the cached page at google doesn't really meet the criteria for patent nonsense. Pburka 04:12, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  - The whole article is crap. Sumalia does not exist in the Westbank. Then it becomes Somalia. Mount Hiria is a garbage dump between Ramat Gan and Azor. The massacre refers to the allegation of 400-3000 which were supposedly massacred in Jenin long after this man did not die. I am quite certain the hoax is by an Israeli making fun of idiots who will believe anything bad being said about them. Yeah and he loved lemons. Redwolf24 knew what he was doing. gidonb 05:20, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - I agree that the articles are nonsense, but they are not Wikipedia:Patent nonsense. The definition of patent nonsense is:
      1. Total nonsense - i.e., text or random characters that have no assignable meaning at all. That means things like "asdfasdfasdfasdfatpotatoasdfasdfasdfasdf", where someone bangs on the keyboard a lot.
      2. Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to try to make head nor tail of it.
      These articles clearly don't fit the first definition, and only fit the second by a willful application of incomprehension. The articles' flaws lay in their verifiability, not in their lack of meaning. Using speedy deletion for these types or articles is an abuse of Wikipedia process. Pburka 23:14, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
      - Well, if it is abuse I am sure it was done in good faith. I know this "abuser" personally. Although he lives in Chicago, he is mostly active on the Dutch Wikipedia. This is the first time he, by chance, detected such total hoaxes here, edited, categorized etc. He improvised some warnings, hoping someone would pick up. Later he got tipped on VfD. Looking around he found this "nonsense" warning which seemed to fit the articles very well. The rest is history! ;-) gidonb 23:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It is crystal clear that this is a hoax, as is the other nonsensical article which was deleted. Devusion was probably meant to make the non-existing Gal Vardi a appear more real. I discovered both hoaxes. Since the content is nonsense, I nominated both for speedy deletion as such. VfD is good too. No one who cares about Wikipedia will want to keep these articles. gidonb 05:12, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
