Viper karate

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

Another HOAX. The third and fourth references do not mention the subject; the first is a WP article and says nothing about martial arts, let alone "Viper Karate"; the second is a general book about Bhutan. Searches - - get nothing relevant about "Viper karate". The only faintly relevant thing I can find anywhere is that the WP article about Bando says "The American Bando Association incorporates 9 animal systems including: bull, boar, cobra, viper, python, panther, tiger, scorpion & eagle." But Bando is a Burmese martial arts system, and there is no source for all the article's guff, sorry picturesque detail, about its origins in Bhutan. I can't find "Fosta" or the "peak of Fostaloush" either, or any of the red-linked people (see talk page). The citing of references that don't mention the subject, and an author with no other edits who has not returned to defend his creation, indicate that this is not just an obscure subject but a deliberate hoax.

 * Delete. Fails WP:V and therefore WP:N. Nothing about this article checks out. • Gene93k (talk) 13:07, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The links provided do not even have the word "viper" in the text of the pages.  I also call WP:HOAX. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 14:17, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax. Edward321 (talk) 14:51, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as an almost certain hoax. Can't even find the names of most of teh alleged practitioners on the web. JJL (talk) 15:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete personally I'd have put it up for speedy as spam but also very likely to be a hoax --Nate1481 10:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
