Little Adventures of Bruno

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Alleged to be a hoax, and the article is on the fringe edges of WP:CRYSTAL, but a google search does turn up a single, legitimate hit which suggests that there could be something to the article after all. I leave it to the community to decide how to proceed with the article. TomStar81 (Talk) 02:02, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I looked up one of the characters' names (Salmon Rushty) and found an image in DeviantArt with this character. The image's description says "The Bruno Show" was from the image's creator, which I believe is not Mitchell Hurwitz. There's a couple of pages in Scratchpad in Wikia about this subject, but to me it's still a hoax series. This external article about Jason Bateman mentions the show, but I believe it's the result of grabbing unsourced information from his Wikipedia article (The show was in his TV roles section from February 6 2014 until July 21 2014), and the website's articles probably depend on Wikipedia articles. Mentions of "The Bruno Show" is present in at least one TV.com page of Sit Down, Shut Up, but I also believe it's derived from Wikipedia, unsourced. I cannot find a legitimate page acknowledging this show's existence. TheGGoose (talk) 02:45, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax. I've never watched the show, but I know that Arrested Development has a very rabid fan following and that anything done by people strongly associated with the show is likely to gain coverage simply for that fact alone. That Hurwitz is notable for several other things makes it more likely that anything he touches will have coverage. The same thing can be said about the Hub's shows in general- usually there's some mention for their projects somewhere. Now all that considered, there's absolutely no reason why a project by an extremely popular creator that is to be broadcast on a popular and highly visible TV network wouldn't have ample proof of existence somewhere. This is a pretty obvious hoax, to say the least. That it has such extensive details on a show that hasn't yet aired is further proof of this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:12, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * On a side note, we should transfer this to List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Little Adventures of Bruno, since it's been on Wikipedia for at least a year now. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:14, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
