Prod removed, so here we go. No sources, and Google's got nothing...doesn't meet WP:CRYSTAL, among other things. Shawis (talk) 06:03, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The article claims that the play was written by Cameron Tate, when in fact Tyler Perry is the creator of Madea and the writer of all the plays about her. Consequently, this article is unlikely to be accurate. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 09:08, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete per WP:HOAX. I'm not a big fan of people using Google to claim non-notability, but when there is no Google hits whatsoever then that it itself makes me suspicious as a hoax. Also it proclaims that Tyler Perry is also known as "Cameron Tate". I have nothing on this. So this is probably a hoax Doc Strange (talk) 18:12, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hold on a second! The article was Created by a user named Cameron Tate according to the revision history. This user continuously makes articles proclaiming himself to be the creator of the Madea character and not Tyler Perry.  so this basically fan fiction AND a hoax.

 * Strong delete as failing WP:V enough to be a snowball close.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 23:15, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete I'm pretty sure that this is made up. I would think Tyler Perry would be the only person to play Madea. ≈  Alessandro  ♫T • C 05:01, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt, given the author's fondness for recreation of deleted articles. Given the information uncovered above, the lack of notability and verifiability are clear. Xymmax (talk) 15:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Three times the AfD notice has been removed from this article. Once by Cameron Tate, and twice by IP users who we may assume are also Cameron Tate  . Something should be done. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 19:30, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ... and a fourth time - they don't learn. JohnCD (talk) 19:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong delete - Cameron Tate has a history of creating hoaxes; perhaps a block is in order? There's no place for stuff you made up whilst bored one day in Wikipedia.  N F 24 ( happy holidays! ) 01:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
