Qiao Liang (Three Kingdoms)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I am nominating this article and a bunch of others created by the same user below because I have reason to believe that these are hoaxes. These articles are all unsourced, and anyone with some knowledge of the Three Kingdoms period would not recognize any of the the people and the stories listed in these articles. I have opted to mass nominated these articles since the stories are interrelated, revolving around a fake warlord, with the creator attempting to insert his fantasy into legitimate biographies to make his stories believable.

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the reasons stated above:

 * Question How can you demonstrate to us that these are indeed hoaxes? Agreed they are unsourced, but as this is not a subject I will be effective in searching myself, I cannot really check if they are unsourceable. DGG (talk) 03:37, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * For one, most of the names do not appear in Rafe de Crespigny's A biographical dictionary of Later Han to the Three Kingdoms. For the ones that do, the biographies in the dictionary are completely different from those in these articles. _dk (talk) 03:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete all. I wasn't able to verify the existence of these with a standard google search (though Qiao Liang does appear to be an Olympic gymnast).  Unless the creator or someone else is able to verify the accuracy of the information, the encyclopedia won't be able to use it.  Of course, if sources do become available, then I'll change my nonvote. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 03:49, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all and give final warning to, who created these articles. I think it's pretty clear to me that these are hoaxes that border on vandalism as the user created links from real personalities' articles to these articles.  --Nlu (talk) 03:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
