Albanian Boys Incorporated
Unverifiable -- all Wikipedia mirrors, myspace, and other user-submitted websites, except: "Tough adjustment for young Albanians" by Selim Algar. Bronx Beat is student newspaper (its website starts with: "Bronx Beat is a real newspaper" ). I have a hard time taking this seriously if this is the only documentation in existance. Selim Algar now appears to be working as a journalist. —Quarl (talk) 2006-10-22 07:46Z 
 * Delete as unverifiable. There'd be a question of notability even if verifiability were proven, I feel. Strange use of "ethnic group" in the article, too. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 09:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Probably a hoax. Delete Edeans 11:19, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even if real, this seems to be an article about an only marginally-notable group.  The article also seems to be a magnet for vandalism.  Unless some other verifiable sources can be provided which prove the subject's notability, I agree that we should just delete the article and move on. --Elonka 17:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. In checking other articles that link to Albanian Boys Incorporated, there seem to be other unreferenced articles in the same vein, such as Alex Rudaj and Ljusa Nuculovic. I'm not sure if they shed any light on whether or not ABI is a hoax, but I thought I would bring them up.  I am also tagging some as originalresearch, as they may also be eventually worth nominating for deletion, themselves. --Elonka 18:26, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The lack of Googlable info on those is also very suspicious, however I just found . —Quarl (talk) 2006-10-27 03:31Z 
 * Delete. Incomprehensible. (Founding an ethnic group?) Pcu123456789 21:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
