Chon ma'aronim

Someone added the comment "The above is a prank article with no connection to any known ceremony in any known religion or ethnicity." on March 26 at the bottom, and then today blanked the article and replaced it with "I have deleted what was clearly a prank article with no connection to any known ceremony in any known religion or ethnicity". Clearly an editor who doesn't know about AfD, so I've brought it here for them instead. I'm currently neutral myself, because I haven't done any checking yet. -- Boing!   said Zebedee  09:06, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find anything on this online; looks bogus to me. Brianyoumans (talk) 11:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. I strongly suspect this is a hoax, and therefore vandalism: a member of a Jewish bride's wedding party responsible for the brit l'chorayam, the ceremonial sacrifice  of a young male goat's manhood. The Chon Ma'aronim is traditionally a non-Jewish participant, whose job entails restraint of the goat by the horns. The position is held in esteemed honor by the wedding party and is considered essential to the post-wedding meal, at which the goat is served. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:24, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
