Amrik Virdi

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested Prod. Subject was born in 1989; the only source contained is a book written in 1995, which doubtfully establishes any notability. Sources are alluded to, but a casual check reveals nothing. The sources are about the gang, not about the subject of the article. Delete as hoax.  O liver  T wisted (Talk) (Stuff) 10:40, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I had a good look for the sources mentioned but they don't appear to exist. --Errant Tmorton166(Talk) 10:45, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Same author had also rewritten Masters of Deception, adding Amrik Virdi with no supporting evidence whatsoever. He had also vandalised all of the existing references in Masters of Deception by changing them to "censored", and then copied the doctored refs to this article. Looks like nothing more than a hoax - nice bit of detection there by OliverTwisted. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:14, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax per Boing. Salvio  Let's talk 'bout it! 11:25, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Either the subject was a prominent computer hacker by the time he was six years old, or this article is a hoax. I'm guessing the latter is the case. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:13, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
