Gigapor

I'm not absolutely sure what to do with this situation, but an editor has been persistently blanking parts of this article over a period of several months; his most recent edit appears to suggest that the team may in fact be a complete hoax (or just some imaginary team in a fantasy league or something.) As I'm unfamiliar with Malaysian football, I'm not qualified to assess whether that's true or false, so I thought it best to bring it here for some assistance in figuring out whether the appropriate response is to delete the article as a hoax, or to block the editor as a lying vandal who lies.

Some of the content that I found on YouTube seems to indicate that while Gigapor is something significant, it isn't a real football team...some sort of locally viral "meme" perhaps? I can't be sure all these are related to the same thing, but they all make reference to "GIGAPOR FC":
 * Comment. It seems to me that the lack of any references and outrageous sentences like "Gigapor is one of the wealthiest and most widely supported football teams in the world...the world's most valuable football club." make this a definite candidate for deletion, alone. I may not know a lot about Malaysian football, but I'm pretty sure I would have heard of a team for which that statement is justified.

 * Delete. Even if this is a real football club, the article appears to be a parody of the intro to the article Manchester United F.C. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:11, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy G3 as a blatant hoax - the list of titles claimed is laughable and the name barely Googles at all. 81.142.107.230 (talk) 09:04, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - definitely non-notable, also probable hoax. GiantSnowman 14:34, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
