Tashkent earthquake hoax

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

Not sufficiently notable for inclusion. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that this was anything more than a rumour, rather than a hoax. These kinds of rumours are far too common to warrant inclusion, especially if no notable events are triggered by the rumours. RedScraper (talk) 10:28, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. Though the article in it's current state is not very informative, it can be expanded. Abdullais4u (talk) 06:46, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Tajiks should be nominated for the award of “The main believers in rumors”, because they believe in rumors more than any other nation.... about another quake rumour just two weeks ago. ¨¨ victor   falk  07:55, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep OK, called it rumor instead of a hoax, but the sources provided by Victor are an indication that this rumor is notable. --J.Mundo (talk) 13:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You will note that the article is about a rumour in 2006, while the links I provided are about another rumour two weeks ago... ¨¨ victor   falk  07:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete - Nonsense. Mkdw talk 03:46, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nonsense, according to my CSD essay, the official criteria, and WP:PN means "incomprehendable." You could still read the text. I took the tag down; hope you don't mind.  K50   Dude   R♥CKS!   04:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete. This could almost be a hoax by itself...  K50   Dude   R♥CKS!   04:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. A rumor is not a hoax—they are not the same thing. These people were frightened because of rumors, not a hoax. If the article is kept, it should be moved to Tashkent earthquake rumors or Tashkent earthquake panic. •••Life of Riley (talk) 05:28, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
