Baskerville's syndrome

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Because of the length of the article, I had to do a little homework. We have a rule that says Wikipedia can write about hoaxes as long as everyone understands that they're hoaxes. Fair enough, but the hoax must be notable in real-world terms. This one produces less than 500 ghits (or less than 100, depending how you count), and not one from a reputable independent source. The website to which the article refers is inactive and has been taken over by an advertising directory. In short, it looks like this was made up in school one day.

 * Delete - for now; non-notable spoof. We can create articles on hoax/spoofs, but they have to be notable hoaxes. Part Deux 08:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - it also doesn't help that the article reads as though it's a hoax itself.- Dmz5 *Edits**Talk* 09:21, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
