Junior Eurovision Dance Contest

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

These articles are a hoax. As the main Eurovision Dance Contest for 2009 has been postponed to 2010 because of a "serious lack of interest", it seemed unlikely that a Junior one would be running, and indeed it isn't; in any case this role is occupied by Eurovision Young Dancers. There are very few hits in Google for Junior Eurovision Dance Contest and none of them is a reliable source; there are no hits but this article for Concours Eurovision de la Danse Junior, or for the European Independence Broadcasting Union which is supposed to be organising it, or for European Independent Broadcasting Union. Nothing in Google News. The "EIBU" reference provided for the first article is a dead link was a dead-link; has since been altered to point to the EBU web-site, but the page pointed to is about the Junior Song Contest; the long list of references in the second one are mostly to a single Kazakh web-site, and are all about the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, not Dance. Delete both as deliberate hoax. JohnCD (talk) 09:19, 31 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Article clearly is a hoax, the links provided do not prove it, though they lead to a reliable sites (the Kazakh site mentioned above is prime source in the internet regarding JESC and EDC), but are misused, as on a source pages there is nothing proving existence of this contest.

 * Delete I tagged this article with the Contradiction.Contradiction-inline, Deadlink and Hoax tags. Each of them with its own reason. Debresser (talk) 16:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I am adding to this nomination the following article newly created by the same author. It may not be strictly according to process to add a new article at this stage, but I plead WP:IAR - this one is part of the same hoax and clearly stands or falls with the others.

 * Delete Hoax. Dang I got suckered in by that one. ukexpat (talk) 17:41, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
