Conservative News Agency of New York

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I am now confident that this article is a hoax, and part of a series of hoaxes at that.


 * blastingnews.com has been associated with several of the other hoaxes in the series (Christian Church International and Arnulf Seminary of Theology), so I have serious doubts about their reliability.
 * The only other sources the article has are three books. Two of these (Shrivastava and Czarniawska-Joerges) are available on Google Books; neither of them contain "Conservative News Agency of New York" or "CNA-NY" at all. Those falsified references were both present in the first revision of the article, not the addition of some later hoaxer.
 * Doing a web search failed to turn up any evidence of this media outlet that doesn't trace back to Wikipedia. If they have a website, I can't find it. This would be, to put it mildly, unusual for a media outlet in 2021.
 * This article was significantly expanded by Klaus Bells, who created a number of other hoaxes.

As with the last few, any admin convinced by the above evidence could close this as a G3; I opened this AfD mainly to record evidence in an easy-to-find place. Also note that since this article lasted more than four years, it probably merits an entry on WP:HOAXLIST when deleted. Vahurzpu (talk) 03:18, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as a hoax. Good find! &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 03:21, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. This article about an organization supposedly founded in 2007 purports to cite a claim about it to a book published in 1984. Phony citations are always a bad sign for a Wikipedia article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:26, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
