Franco's World

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article appears to be a hoax. I can find no evidence of notability. The article is supposedly on YouTube but I cannot find evidence of it. The page creator has created or edited several "related" pages, such as Robert Rabiah, adding extensive links but I haven't found any yet that support the claim that he involved with this production, if it exists.

 * Just noting that the article creator is persistently restoring an errored version of the article to both the article and the redirect and removing the AfD notice. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 22:49, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

 * The article creator actually posted here, but then deleted it, claiming "Further editing has been undertaken to improve this page and this should be considered rather than deleting the page". This is not the case at all. In fact I fixed numerous errors as explained in the ANI case I've had to open at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents but the only editing since this AfD was opened has been persistent restoration of multiple errors, which is the current state of the article. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 07:29, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Clearly part of a promotional push for Robert Rabiah. More AFD noms are needed. --Calton | Talk 08:33, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I assume that you are referring to all of the other articles that Films001 and Cinema777 have edited/created. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 04:55, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Spot on. --Calton | Talk 08:27, 20 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete I reckon. ZERO independent hits on google.  Only a total of seven hits for "Franco's World" -wikipedia Turturro.  The first three references in the article do not seem to mention the word "franco" at all.  The fourth reference IMDB lists the official site as the site for Robert Rabiah...  Either very very WP:TOOSOON or very very WP:CRYSTAL or just a publicity hoax.  Aoziwe (talk) 10:57, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence of notability at this time. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  23:17, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Can't find any mention of this supposed TV program independent of this Wikipedia page. More likely a hoax than anything else, per WP:DUCK. - Nick Thorne talk  04:46, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
