 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Hoax article, grotesquely over-hyped, about a Youtube "celebrity". Just plausible-enough looking, I regretfully suppose, to avoid a speedy WP:CSD; but this "international superstar" gets 330 Google hits, from the likes of last.fm (which says most of the "20 million sales" of her album came from Cheadle), moopy.org and Facebook. 200 million Youtube views are claimed: Youtube itself shows a total of under 1,000. None of the claimed awards are true; the 2009 Grammys for instance, don't have a "Best Looking Female" award. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 22:04, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - This should have been A7'ed, so I tagged it. Claims to notability are a valid block to CSD, as long as they are not ridiculously bogus to begin with. § FreeRangeFrog 22:21, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * A7 says: "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source." Depends what one considers credible: maybe because I am not familiar with that "scene", the claims seemed to me suspicious but not immediately absurd; it took me some research before I was sure. But I shall have no complaints if your speedy is upheld. JohnCD (talk) 22:56, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The operative phrase here being credible claim of significance :) § FreeRangeFrog 23:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as vandalism. Only claims of notability are extremely absurd.  20 million copies worldwide?  Bullshit. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  23:23, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- hoax, but the hoax spreads well beyond Wikipedia. Looie496 (talk) 00:18, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
