The Wild Forest

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Created by a suspected sock of hoaxer, see Long term abuse. The only reason I took it to AFD is because the speedy tag I added was removed on the grounds that "hoax" is not a valid speedy criterion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Szyslak (talk • contribs) 21:56, April 23, 2007
 * Delete, can't find this on IMDB. BuickCenturydriver  (Honk, contribs)  22:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax. No mention on Disney site or fansites and no Ghits on the character names. Whoever removed the tag is right, btw, suspected hoaxes always have to come to AfD for consensus -  irides centi   (talk to me!)  22:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That's true in most cases, but so far most suspected Lyle123 hoaxes have been speedied as A3 (vandalism), in some cases after a prod or an AFD, such as Articles for deletion/Sir Tod (1974 film). szyslak  (t, c) 23:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete. Please see this user's entry at the Long Term Abusers section of wikipedia.  This isn't just a hoax, it's a hoax by an abusive user who refuses to go away and insists on wasting everyone's time. Esn 23:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I tagged it speedy for exactly the same reason, but someone came along and removed the speedy tag, on the grounds that I used invalid speedy criteria. I know "hoax" isn't a CSD, but I think this qualifies as vandalism (A3), as it's a hoax that fits the M.O. of a known and persistent vandal. There's no good reason to make this article sit on AFD for any longer. szyslak  (t, c) 17:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete. Hoax by frequent hoaxer. &mdash;tregoweth (talk) 00:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Update: See this note from the page's creator. He more or less requests deletion. szyslak  (t, c) 23:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * He also gives a strong hint that he will recreate this article after it's deleted. Perhaps it should be salted?  Or is it too early? Esn 06:55, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
