Wander Donkey

In the 09/02/2009 IdleThumbs podcast (http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/idle-thumbs/~5/fdEKG8ledcE/idlethumbs041.mp3, discussion starts at 40:20) a reader admitted to having created this page as a hoax. Apparently a typo made several gaming sites (such as IGN and Gamespy) index this as a real game, which then made several other gaming websites create stub pages for it -- the users then created this page and assigned TOSE as a developer as they thought it 'plausible'. Outside of several stub pages, there's no verifiable source for this game anywhere and all of the linked sources are nonsense. This game does not exist. At the IdleThumbs forum the following user admitted to having created the article: http://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/showpost.php?p=118549&postcount=46 Obonicus (talk) 17:19, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Very likely a hoax. In the IdleThumbs podcast, the discussion of this article begins at 40:20 (so it doesn't take you as long to find it as it did me). Even if it were not a hoax, every reference listed is extremely trivial, no where near verification of this article. Jujutacular talkcontribs 17:36, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, possibly speedy as hoax, not to mention WP:CRYSTAL. Gosox5555 (talk) 22:02, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as hoax. So tagged. If they made it public that it's a hoax, then it qualifies. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 23:25, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Additional note, I had to replace the AFD tag - vandals removed it. -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 23:26, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
