Four-Pack Music Sky Broadcasting

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

Suspected hoax article. Although BSkyB are planning a download service, there has no name been given for the service, only Universal Music has signed up to anything and there is little detail about the service in any of the sources I have seen on Google News. It might be fine for a paragraph in the British Sky Broadcasting article for now, but most of the information is false, the title of the article is made up and some unsourced information in the article is false and untrue speculation, particularly information about Diva TV's involvement where I could find no information about their involvement on Google. --tgheretford (talk) 20:26, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - no source, no confirmation, likely hoax. On another article posted by this author an anon IP has posted "Hi, the person that created this article is Paul Akinbola, a popular internet person who vandalises wiki articles for fun and also posts crap on www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums", and on digitalspy we find:


 * "Paul Akinbola is a famous troll around here. He copies and pastes other people's posts and uses them as his own and comes with up with bizarre ideas for TV channels and companies, he gets banned and re-surfaces a month later. I've noticed him recently trolling the Challenge TV forums requesting to get ITV chart show on Challenge TV!!"


 * "Have you seen Wikipedia recently? He's invented a new Digital TV platform called 'Box New Channels' (Wikipedia have since deleted that article, rather unfortunatly), and a new music download/tv channel called 'Four-pack Music Sky Broadcasting'. And don't forget his claims that 4Music is going to be opened by Eminem covering 'Black or White'."


 * There's no proof, but the author's talk page doesn't inspire confidence. JohnCD (talk) 10:00, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - author indef blocked as persistent hoaxer. JohnCD (talk) 12:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Hoax. The link in the article does not substantiate it's central claim. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 20:02, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
