Joe Pelkey

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

Non existant person.


 * Weak delete unable to verify this but similarly named people are playing hockey (Bobby/Billy Joe Pelkey ) so may be just out of date. JJL (talk) 00:52, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * delete That the Aissistant Captain isn't mentioned on the team roster is indeed odd. Article was actually written in April, so the 'second season' is 07-08, not 08-09. Claim to have 43 points (in April) - only 7 players finished the season with 40+ points for the Vancouver Giants, listed on | WHL website. Search of NHL.com for "Pelkey" returns nothing, so he didn't move up to the NHL, nor has he been mentioned on an archived article. Strongly suspect no player of the given name exists. (The Bobby Joe Pelkey noted above plays for Knoxville (and last season also), and for Odessa of the CHL prior to that, so its not just a forename/middle name issue - it's a different person who has nothing to do with the article) [|NHL.com] article on Central Scouting ranks in the WHL makes no mantion of a Joe Pelkey.MadScot (talk) 01:28, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: There's no one by that name either on the Giants roster or indeed in the whole Western Hockey League. Nor is there anyone by that name in the Central Scouting Service OR the International Scouting Service lists, as the article asserts.  Hoax article.   RGTraynor  04:30, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. If any evidence can be provided to verify info, then it needs added; until then, it should be deleted.  Black  ngold29   04:28, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Not only is it a hoax, but the hoaxter didn't even make his fictional player notable. Resolute 04:33, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't look like a real person. Interesting way of creating a false article though, what with the non-notability of it all. Kaiser matias (talk) 07:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per hoax and non-notability. -Djsasso (talk) 13:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I could not find any sources --Banime (talk) 15:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Hoax, and not even a funny or interesting one. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Fails notability and verifiability. —C.Fred (talk) 16:38, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete (invoke WP:SNOW) probably hoax and either way the sources clearly don't exist to support such an article.  coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  21:40, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
