The Carsonia

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

The page was started by User:Robalot on 30 September 2008. That was the only edit by the user. Google search shows nothing, the article could be a WP:HOAX. Even if it is not a hoax, there is no indication of notability. AdjustShift (talk) 18:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a hoax, all right. Such things get into the newspapers and other sources. Not in GNews, GNews Archive, GB, or GS. DGG (talk) 18:58, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wow, that's one unconvincing hoax. Let's see: misplaced apostrophes; terrible spelling; 'Millions of workmen' being involved; consistent reference to 'masonry's' instead of masons; a corresponding designer with the unlikely forename of 'Alexanda'; billionaires are said to have been present on the ship in 1912, but the world's first dollar billionaire did not in fact appear until 1916; a ship's orchestra whose description is that of a string sextet; final paragraph disclosing that, er, historians think it may not have existed. Arguably, this should be speedied as vandalism. AlexTiefling (talk) 20:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Quite funny to read! Did the author expect people to believe this? Themfromspace (talk) 21:23, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as drivel. MadScot (talk) 23:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Obvious and poorly done hoax. Edward321 (talk) 23:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete A ship of such fabulous design and such an unfortunate end, and then no records of its existence? Someone's flight of fancy I think. Benea (talk) 19:59, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above - I particularly like the "former prime minister of Eastern Europe". Phil Bridger (talk) 14:18, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
