Jose Huerta

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I contested the prod here myself because I think AfD would work better in this case. I'm not even sure this is a real person, as Googling for his name and the title of his supposed debut EP only comes back to this article. In addition, the Awards section is full of charts that don't exist (Billboard Best Unsigned Ep, Billboard Hot Charts 200; and the Grammys do not have a category called Best Male Song).

 * Delete. I was inclined to let the prod run its course, but this works too. As far as I can tell from Googling around, this article is a hoax. Requests to the author for sources have gone unacknowledged. Even the initial edit summary is suspicious: "I've added the real and verified biography about international songwriter/singer recording artist Jose Huerta." Artists with two Grammy nominations have some kind of web presence, such as a listing on the Grammy site. As stated above, several of the music awards do not exist, and I can't find any reference that the "I Like That Web" award exists either. Finally, the only link in the article is to http://www.josehuerta.info/, which contains only the individual's name and a Twitter widget. I originally tagged this article for speedy deletion as a hoax, and unless the author is immediately forthcoming with sources that we've all somehow missed, this ought to be deleted.

 * Speedy delete as a blatant hoax. And no, it's just coincidence that User:Bornthisway2011 created this article and the subject (according to his Twitter account) really really really likes the Lady Gaga song Born This Way... . -- Kinu t /c  09:55, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete really blatant hoax, right down to claiming to be on nonexistant charts. It doesn't get much more blatant than that. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  00:52, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought when I tagged this for speedy deletion as a blatant hoax, but the closing admin declined speedy, so here we are. Zachlipton (talk) 00:57, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
