Alexandra Machedoska

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

looks to be a hoax. Could not find the player name at WTA or the ITF. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:40, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Article claims she was in the first round of both US and French Open, which she clearly wasn't. It also claims she won her first WTA title last year, which would mean she was only 16 in accomplishing that feat, which would have lifted her among those big names like Monica Seles, Martina Hingis who also found success in that early age (surpassing the likes of e.g. the Williams sisters). I think that would also bring media attention and coverage as well so if it doesn't than it's probably a made up thing.  Lajbi  Holla @ me  •  CP  08:03, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per Lajbi and nom. I originally prodded it as a BLP-PROD -- that must have gotten removed in the shuffle. I agree this may be a faster way of handling.  Theo polisme  11:22, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - If this is found to be a hoax, please note that there are other WP pages with this purported player's name inserted into the results (2011, 2012 Lucerne opens...). These need to be tracked down and eliminated. Only 53 hits in a Google search for the name, mostly WP-related, which indicates either a very, very bad misspelling or a hoax.

 * Speedy Delete as hoax. Having just sorted through all the "Alexandras" on the Women's Tennis Association website, there is no such person as Alexandra Machedoska listed in the database, nor anything close. The internet footprint is microscopic for the name, with all or almost all entries either WP or WP-mirrors. The editor who started the piece is a newcomer who should be blocked for hoaxing unless I'm very, very wrong about this... Carrite (talk) 16:02, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Hoax whatever... Remember to check all edits of this user. --Stryn (talk) 18:40, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
