The result was   speedy delete. A combination of criteria G3 and A7 apply here. There is clearly hoax content in the article, with bogus claims of political office. Either the article is removed entirely due to the false claims, or the false claims are removed from the article, which leaves us an article about a policeman in Tuvalu—and an article without an assertion of notability. —C.Fred (talk) 04:00, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Pure, undiluted hoax, pushed by two SPAs, one of whom vandalized the Tuvalu and related articles. Prod removed by anon IP without comment.  RGTraynor  02:56, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unsourced BLP. The relevant Google hits (or the lack there of) lead me to concur with the nominator that this is indeed a hoax. ~ Ame I iorate U T C @ 05:11, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Did some checking when prodded, clear hoax.John Z (talk) 10:32, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete this sort of nonsense should be speedied forthwith. Ohconfucius (talk) 12:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Except that hoaxes are explicitly not grounds for speedy. G1 is specifically for unintelligible gibberish, not for idiocy.    RGTraynor  13:09, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, G3 is for vandalism - a term that might well be applied to hoaxing. Punkmorten (talk) 21:31, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax.- gadfium 08:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
