Recreation of an article (albeit not identical) earlier removed through a regular AfD (Articles for deletion/Manhunt International 2014 (2nd nomination) ("07:46, 14 February 2015 Missvain (talk | contribs) deleted page Manhunt International 2014 (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manhunt International 2014 (2nd nomination))") It should have been deleted, but according to the history that never happened (or something strange has happened.) The pageant itself has no sources (all sources given are about the contestants and not one of them is conform WP:RS). On the talkpage there is an accusation that the result was a fake...

 * Delete per the 4th go at this! The 2nd nomination closed delete (I agree it looks like it was not deleted). The third was withdrawn in favor of a G4 which was declined. The page used to be Manhunt International 2013 which should also have been deleted as dependent on this page. Legacypac (talk) 09:23, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is something very strange about this. The article on Manhunt International says "Not held ... 2013-2015" and the pics in the references all seem to be copyright 2011. In any case, none of the references actually verify the results, they're only pictures of the (putative) entrants. Who knows if this really happened, or, if it did, if these were the results? ubiquity (talk) 17:26, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: the main article on Manhunt International only has a single reference, only stating who won in 2001. I'm wondering if maybe the entire contest, and all of its nine (mostly unreferenced) pages, should be removed. ubiquity (talk) 17:26, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator, Legacypac, and Ubiquity. Should have been deleted after 2nd Afd nomination.--Ddcm8991 (talk) 18:52, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Based on the main Manhunt International and the comments on the talk page this appears to be a hoax. Delete and SALT it. Legacypac (talk) 19:05, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

I've reverted a NAC on technical ground (Hopefully uncomtroversal) because the closer and page mover missed that a move from Manhunt International 2014 to Manhunt International 2013 does not resolve the AfD. The 2013 page is also up for nomination in this AfD. Both titles appear to be hoaxes. Needs an Admin Reclose to delete the 2013 page too. Legacypac (talk) 14:10, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I saw the page was moved so just closed and hadn't thought nothing of it (I never gave it a thought to look at the other article it was moved too), I would've happily reverted if you had asked :), Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 14:14, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I was confident you would not mind. It was headed to Deletion Review and the 2013 page was just nominated for deletion, so better to quickly reopen and head off wasting time on the other processes. Legacypac (talk) 14:17, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
 * You're welcome :), Hang on why ? ..... I had stated "Moved by James" so the "DRVer" could've just asked for it to be reopened ?, Ah well thanks for reverting anyway and I agree reopening is a hell of a lot better than DRV! :), Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 14:20, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I was going to start a DR, but of course I asked you what was going on first. By then the situation was already getting corrected. I don't know if others were thinking about DR. ubiquity (talk) 11:37, 12 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete As a quick search revealed only a few YouTube videos, no reliable independent coverage which would prove that this article meets GNG. Omni Flames   let's talk about it  07:22, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
