Pydgical Creole

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Apparently hoax. There are no supporting references in the article. It was created (and dePROD'd) by an editor with a short edit history. There is nothing in google about it (except for stuff derived from wikipedia). The name 'Pýǧıkal Kriôl' isn't known to google at all, except from this page. Google scholar doesn't recognise the name of the putative creator, and no linguist by with the surname 'Hasan' in the first three pages of 'Hasan' hits. The dePROD message was 'Although it was designed to be spoken in the Indian Ocean, it is spoken in many households in the US, especially in San Francisco and Houston.' which seems unlikely given it has no google coverage.

 * Delete or Speedy Delete as G3, blatant hoax. An elaborate one, it seems, but still blatant. Google finds absolutely nothing about the language or its creator. First Light (talk) 22:30, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Personally, I don't think of this as a hoax, I am rather inclined to believe that the person who contributed this (undoubtedly the author of the language) simply misunderstands the rules regarding notability, verifiability, third party sources, etc. I'd say: carry on with the project and publish it on a website or use a conlang wiki or somesuch, but be aware that Wikipedia is not the place to publish your own work, nor the place to promote it. Should your project become a success, and the media or other independent sources start writing about it, then it could have an article here, but not before that. &mdash;IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu?  23:15, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
