Wikipedia:Mexican radio nonsense campaign

I strongly suspect an ongoing campaign of adding (and re-adding) pages to Wiki for non-existent Mexican radio personalities and politicians. All of the following inter-related articles have questionable, unverifiable details, and sometimes non-sensical or untranslated text, or patent nonsense, and originated from 24.199.213.90:

Radio/Politics related

 * Líderes de Opinión
 * This article is only partially in English. Maybe this should have been submitted to the Spanish Wikipedia for speedy deletion?
 * Submitted 13:30, 20 Oct 2004 by 24.199.213.90
 * Félix Malpica Valverde
 * Born in 1921 and hosted an FM radio program??
 * Submitted 15:34, 19 Oct 2004 by 24.199.213.90
 * There are people alive today who were born in 1921. However, the article gives that as the year of death.  Maybe the dates are wrong, but the person and program (Líderes de Opinión) are verified on three non-mirror sites --  , all with basically the same text.  The person and program seem legit, but the details given in the articles are strange.  This may be confusion due to translation, or it may be deliberate.  I have left the anon a message pointing him to the Spanish Wikipedia.  SWAdair | Talk  01:23, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Guillermo Zúñiga Martínez
 * In a previous incarnation of this page (which was deleted for nonsense), Guillermo's birthdate was after his date of death, and he was listed as a PRI member before the party existed.
 * The version posted 20:56, 26 Nov 2004 by 24.199.213.90 says that he was born in 1942 and was friends with Félix Malpica Valverde (died 1921).
 * The website of the Mexican Senate does not currently list this individual's name.
 * Armando Quintero Martínez
 * Version submitted 18:51, 11 Nov 2004 by 24.199.213.90 says Armando died in 1917, yet participated in an FM radio program.
 * Text borders on unintelligible nonsense.
 * Pedro Ferríz Santacruz
 * Died 1923 and broadcasted on FM 99.7!! ?
 * Submitted 17:08, 16 Nov 2004 by 24.199.213.90
 * This was re-submitted... suspicious... Eric 02:24, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Emilio Azcárraga
 * Well, this man appears to exist, but these biographies should be divided into two pages
 * Poor English, needs wikification, TLC
 * Submitted 13:00, 21 Aug 2004 by 24.199.213.90
 * Tomás Ruíz González
 * Beware of friends of possibly non-existant Félix Malpica Valverde
 * "Tomás was chief of teacher"
 * Uh oh, Tomas was a "deputy for the Partido Revolucionario Institucional", not a good sign. None of  24.199.213.90's PRI politicians appear to exist!!!
 * "Tomás Ruíz González (1963-1930)" - nail in the coffin
 * Submitted 10:06, 13 Nov 2004 by 24.199.213.90
 * Mike Laure
 * Submitted 18:31, 22 Oct 2004 by 24.199.213.90
 * Psychic musician: "Mike Laure (1849-1927)" ...and later... "His idols of rock 'n' roll are Ritchie Valens, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley, The Beatles"

Non-radio related nonsense from 24.199.213.90

 * Metro Aragón
 * Awful writing. At least I can say that the Aragon subway station actually exists (I've been there).
 * Submitted 17:24, 16 Nov 2004 24.199.213.90
 * Encarta 95
 * Duplicate article to Encarta and poor English
 * Submitted 12:48, 27 Oct 2004 by 24.199.213.90

Note - 2016
It's been a very long time, but it may be worth putting a fork in this weird item:


 * The first two articles were deleted for not meeting notability policies (which have changed a lot). The Malpica Valverde family as Grupo FM Multimedios did own FM stations, but we now have articles on them, and it appears they may be selling some or all of their holdings.
 * The articles on Zúñiga Martínez, Quintero Martínez, Pedro Ferriz Santacruz, and Ruiz González do seem to be about notable figures, but much work is needed. Ruiz González did indeed exist and was indeed a deputy - his name was in the SIL - but he resigned not long into his term. The others served before the SIL started in the LVII Legislature.
 * Mike Laure was deleted.
