The result was : The "Music Career and Salt Mine" section is an obvious joke; with it removed, all that's left is a dime-a-dozen article about a non-notable musician. Speedily deleted. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:49, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Dan Williams (rapper)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have done some brief research on the subject and it appears to be somewhat of a hoax. All I could find were a couple of things on YouTube videos that refer to, among other things, music by a Daniel Williams, not Dan WIlliams, which are not listed on the article. The article also states that between the ages of 2 and 4 he toured with The Rolling Stones playing the kazoo, going on to say he was a key member who lead the band to wide spread success. Being a toddler, and even today the age of 18, I find it hard to believe such a key member of such an iconic band isn't referenced elsewhere, which leads me to believe it is a hoax. There is no mention of this person on the 'Boy Better Know' website, and the personal website listed on the article, not only doesn't work - it doesn't exist (as per a domain name check). Also couldn't find any mention of the listed music. I was considering tagging the article for speedy deletion under WP:CSD, but decided a discussion may be more appropriate. -- Patchy1 02:13, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Note: Also just noticed a slightly different version of the article, without Rolling Stones claims, on the creators user page: User:EJDuckyy. Which also suggest the creator is the subject (WP:AUTO), but still doesn't explain the lack of any sources verifying any of the content. -- Patchy1 02:21, 15 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete and (ironically) salt - obvious WP:HOAX from what I can tell, and not a very clever one. The Sifto Salt Mine in Goderich, Ontario is the largest in the world. It's owned by Compass Minerals; their CEO is Angelo C. Brisimitzakis, not an 18 year old from Halesowen. WP:NOTFACEBOOK. End of story. Stalwart 111  03:49, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per discussion. Can a speedy deletion take place after an AFD has started? BeyondKneesReach (talk) 05:17, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe so, I've seen it happen before anyway. -- Patchy1 05:31, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy deletion is considered a type of early AfD closure, per WP:SPEEDYCLOSE. — Francophonie&#38;Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler ) 08:35, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * This means that if no one objects to the speedy delete consensus, we can close this early as "speedy delete." — Francophonie&#38;Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler ) 09:33, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete under G3. There does appear to be some YouTube links on the web that fit this guy, otherwise, he is not remotely worthy of a Wikipedia article, especially not with such a blatant mess of an article with fake or non-existent sources. Lukeno94 (talk) 10:09, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - to find his music, you'd have to Google "Bantorious D.A.N", which is what the YouTube links that match his songs are posted as. Lukeno94 (talk) 10:13, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
