Champion X-men

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I strongly recommend deletion per WP:NOHOAXES. While this hoax is not blatant enough to qualify for speedy deletion per WP:CSD, several editors have already identified it as a probable hoax. The article asserts its subject's lack of notability, stating that "little is known" about it. The article's author credits himself with creating File:Xmenchampion.JPG, supposedly the logo for the show. He has also added uncited information about this series in other articles, such as X-Men in other media. In summary – at best, this is WP:MADEUP; at worst, it's a hoax.

 * Delete - obvious hoax, logo looks it was created in MS Paint, I think Marvel Animation can probably manage better than that...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete- hoax. Reyk  YO!  11:02, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Hoax. I can find no sources indicating the existence of such a series.  Surely a currently running television series would at least show up in a channel listing somewhere?  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:02, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Agreed: hoax. Though the MS Paint logo was good for a chuckle. Jrh7925 (talk) 01:53, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:V in that searches on Google, including with alternating spelling turn up no results. I am therefore inclined to agree with my colleagues that this article is likely a WP:HOAX.  As such, in this particularly case I am okay with redlinking as there does not appear to be a valid alternate thing in existence known as "Champion X-men" to rewrite as, nor would we redirect a hoax to somewhere.  The only thing I could really fix here was to italicize the title; however, another confusing aspect of this article is that it actually cites two different names for the show: X-Men: Champion and Champion X-men.

 * Delete, obviously. It always seems unreasonable to me that we have to let such articles as this remain for a week. It is not a sufficiently blatant hoax to qualify for speedy deletion under G3, but, as A Stop at Willoughby points out in the nomination, the article asserts its subject's lack of notability. It always seems to me that we ought to be able to speedily delete any article which does this, and I made a proposal at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion to that effect. So far the proposal has had no response, either positive or negative. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:53, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
