Solvec

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

Delete. Article purports to describe a quasi-independent principality owned by a member of the Spanish Royal Family, and guarded by tanks, on the territory of the Philippines. The only references provided are entirely irrelevant to the content of the article. No Google hits and no other reliable source available to me corroborates the existence of either the principality or the Prince. In short, total fiction (except that the name Solvec does appear to be the name of a small village or other location in the Philippines). Russ (talk) 17:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The article seems to be more about the "prince" than the territory itself. A prince who by all accounts does not exist. If a member of the Spanish royal family had been shot, and it had then been reported by the press, it would have made Google News. No reports of any royalty of any stripe being shot or even having a boo-boo during the period in question. DarkAudit (talk) 17:43, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete, hoax.  Corvus cornix  talk  21:53, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I have reverted the article back to the December, 2006 version, which is the last good non-hoax version. Keep that version, but source.   Corvus cornix  talk  21:55, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have no idea about the authenticity of the article, but Salvec (or Sulvec) is a barangay in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur province. It is also picked up by Google Maps see here. Starczamora (talk) 15:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Considering the amount of "information" on the original article and the absence of any citations or references, the article may as well be a hoax. &mdash;  •KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ•  Speak!  14:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
