Death in venice
Entry on Swedish band. Google can't find it, and a member being killed by a flock of seagulls seems suspiciously hoaxy. Can anyone verify? I think a redirect to the famous novel should suffice. Mgm|(talk) 12:32, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC) I've personally seen this show. The man who was killed was the brother of a friend of mine. How dare you trample his memory
 * Delete a member of a band killing an audience member during a show would have made worldwide headlines if it were true. This is probably some inside joke that's only funny if you know the people supposedly being parodied. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  13:29, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hoax. Raven42 14:24, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Hoax, but very creative. Inter 15:47, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, "Killed by a flock of seagulls" gets precisely 1 google hit, which at first glance seems neither relevant nor work-safe so I didn't investigate further. Thryduulf 16:02, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it was meant to be "killed by A Flock of Seagulls"? Raven42 16:36, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete; this hoax and its VfD debate should be sent to BJAODN. --Idont Havaname 17:42, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Might be a good idea to Redirect this to Death in Venice. -- Smerdis of Tlön 21:57, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I second that. Redirect to Death in Venice, and send the crap that's on here now to BJAODN. --Idont Havaname 03:04, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, possible hoax. Megan1967 23:41, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * The above comment is from 193.10.51.94. Note I have removed a space from the middle of the URL to make it valid. It appears to be a cloth doll in a knitted medieval knights outfit, carrying a knitted sword. Thryduulf 21:23, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Aww, a picture of a little knight doll! Oh, well that just proves everything in this article as absolute truth and I'd like to change my vote to... oh, wait.  No it doesn't.  Nevermind. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  13:21, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)
