Shane Jalkson and the Molexes

This has been here more than a year, but it's a HOAX. Congratulations to BNutzer for spotting and tagging it. Evidence: The author has no constructive edits, and no edits since this article. In the article history one can see that anonymous IPs have twice replaced the article with "This article is fake, it shouldn't even be on Wikipedia" or words to that effect, but have been reverted. I think they were right. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 09:27, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The article claims that Jimmy Page was a member of this band before leaving to join Led Zeppelin, but his article says he was with the Yardbirds.
 * Ditto for Angus Young and AC/DC; his article says he was with Kantuckee.
 * A Google search turns up references on sites like Lyricsmania.com and lyricsandsongs.com, but I suspect anyone can post on those sites. When you follow the references through, all they lead to is the lyrics of a single song called "Fuck the trees".
 * In particular, there is no mention anywhere of an album, although the article claims that "the album" (unnamed) "went quadruple platinum (that's four million copies sold)".
 * Delete - this is absolutely definitely a hoax. Angus Young was only born in 1955 so would have been unlikely to have been in a group in the "late 1960s", and his family emigrated to Australia in 1963 anyway! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:20, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - hoax. Nice to know we probably drove away a couple of IPs who were trying to help by reverting and templating them. Oh well, nothing's perfect I guess. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  13:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
