Mystery money

This is likely a hoax, but I would not say a blatant hoax that can be CSD'd. I think that such dubious claims should require sourcing or should not be on Wikipedia. Until ( 1 == 2 )  14:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I would almost speedy delete it as pure vandalism or nonsense although that might be a bit of a stretch. In any case, has no business on Wikipedia. Pascal.Tesson 14:27, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - It's not a hoax. Jauerback 15:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, good thing I didn't CSD it as a blatant hoax. I still think an article with such bold claims needs to be fully sourced though, given the listings in the news that may just be possible. Until  ( 1 == 2 )  15:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment This seems more suited to Wikinews, as it appears to be a solitary incident so far, although one that has caught the attention of Germany, India and New Zealand.--Sethacus 16:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment on my comment Actually, this now looks like more than one single instance. I'm torn between having this taken to Wikinews and keeping the article.--Sethacus 16:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is news and stale news at that. The second part - "Could it be life imitating art?" - is original research. --Malcolmxl5 23:25, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
