User:Popblack


Ok, so this draft has been fought over for some odd reason. There's a related mainspace page up for deletion at Articles for deletion/Wang Dongma. In reality, Popblack created another draft and moved that to Wang Dongma on October 3, 2010 and then recreated that here in userspace on October 8, 2010, worked to change the contents on February 27, 2011 to Weng Songma, tried to G7 this page (I'm guessing to move this revised draft) and then gave up. So this is either the correct page and should be history merged into the other page (should it survive AFD but that would be a hoax surviving AFD) or the wrong page and a complete hoax with the wrong name. It's also an issue English-sizing Chinese names but most of the facts are the same (he updated the BA to his masters in this one). Ricky81682 (talk) 22:54, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * In case I missed something, I'm notifying the three editors involved in the mainspace version: . -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:02, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Defer to the AfD dscussion. If there were no mainspace article, I would recognize this page as a FAKEARTICLE, a possible promotion of a non-notable artist.  All the links seem to be broken.  As it is a completely marked up article, if someone disputes that it is a FAKEARTICLE, I would support moving this to mainspace and allow testing at AfD, or deletion in userspace as a promotional FAKEARTICLE.  The lack of reliable sources for a page that ends with a link to the artist's web site (broken or not) is a crucial factor.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:07, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:FAKEARTICLE. Google searches for "Weng Songma" or "翁宋马" return absolutely nothing. -Zanhe (talk) 04:19, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:FAKEARTICLE. Stifle (talk) 08:16, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and I'm quite annoyed that this user managed to create a good enough looking article it fooled me into thinking the artist was notable. It looks 100% better then most of the drafts I've been reviewing but the sources seem to be faked. Legacypac (talk) 08:33, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Technically the editor created two of them: one that was convincing enough to get to AFD and another for MFD. You just didn't know it was the same. :) -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:16, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Twin deleted at AfD and redirects up for speedy. This can be speedied as a confirmed hoax. Legacypac (talk) 05:39, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
