The result of the debate was delete. –  Rob ert  00:36, 4 March 2006 (UTC) I am in my third year of study specialising in Early Germanic poetry, and I can confirm that there is no such poem.

The Ley of Lothwell and Lupocaan
AfD This page is a joke. There is no Old English poem by this name. There was no English language between 200-700 CE and no writings in the ancestral Germanic exist from that time period. Reason given by User:68.34.29.11. Nomination fixed by Bobby1011 06:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * "Delete' per nom. See also The Ley of Lothwell and Lupocaan full text version and The Ley of Lothwell and Lupocaan partial text version Schizombie 07:53, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't those other two articles be tied into this AfD? Schizombie 03:08, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as hoax. Perhaps the author can provide a citation for this poem being extant and older than Beowulf?  If not, this appears to be a hoax.   (aeropagitica)   23:23, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax (unless it's somehow a misspelling?—no results on Google except Wikipedia and its mirrors). Note that the Old English language did exist toward the end of the period in question. Also, shouldn't the full and partial text versions also be up for AfD? Ardric47 02:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hoax. -- Krash (Talk) 14:16, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete I created this page as a joke, i wrote the poem myself, rahter proud of it actually, but yes, sadly, there is no such poem as Lothwell...etc, so please feel free to delete it. I had no idea if there was English language at this time, i just made up the dates. Please accept my sincerest apologies for any inadvertent predicatory happenings i eventuated.
