Mike Evans (journalist)
This is a declined CSD. Tagging editor says it is a piece of complete fiction. A hoax is not a reason for CSD so I bring it here for a decision. JodyBRoll, Tide, Roll 18:53, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep There are some reliable sources from google searching. The article may need to be cleaned up, though. STORMTRACKER   94  19:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You're voting to keep an apparent hoax article just because a Google search for "Mike Evans (journalist)" gets a lot of hits? Mike Evans is an extremely common name, a bit more research would have shown you this is a hoax. Crazysuit 20:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You're voting keep based on google hits and completely ignoring the hoax aspect? Smashville 20:51, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Hoax. A specific Google search only gives 11 results, none of them are this person. If this TV news journalist existed there would be at least one reference to him on the internet. Crazysuit 20:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have just noticed that this article has been speedily deleted before as a hoax. Crazysuit 20:11, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax, and we might want to take a look at Mary Williams (journalist), his erstwhile partner at the anchor desk, as well - she doesn't turn up any Google results either. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per KYW website no such person is an anchor. Smashville 20:51, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm the original tagger, and as I said (and others have verified) it's complete fiction (as is the Patrick Clark article next to it on the list). JTRH 21:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:HOAX. Stifle (talk) 22:57, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - even though it looks good, it's definitely a hoax. Too bad this user wastes his/her talent creating hoaxes.  Jauerback 19:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - not listed as part of the news team on the station site bios. No results matching this Mike Evans in googling. -- Whpq 19:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
