User:Zazazozo111
This is a blatant hoax story about a three-legged horse winning the Kentucky Derby, which has been three times posted as an article and three times speedily deleted. It has no place in an encyclopedia. --JohnCD (talk) 20:41, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - appropriate use of userspace (weak because editor has no other contributions). –xenotalk 20:44, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * How is it appropriate? WP:UP: "pages in your user space should be used as part of your efforts to contribute to the project" - not to store your hoax story which the project has rejected. JohnCD (talk) 20:51, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * A sandbox with which to practice wikimarkup. However, given that this user has no other contributions, I reduced my vote to "weak". –xenotalk 21:00, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see - and I award you a special gold star for superlative AGF! JohnCD (talk) 21:57, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

*Delete This user has vandalized Wikipedia by inserting this hoax article in article space three times, and all three times it was speedily deleted. User:JohnCD tagged it as G3, pure vandalism, and as a hoax. I deleted it twice, and User:Discospinster deleted it once, all as WP:CSD category G3. No encyclopedic purpose is served by using the user page to host a hoax article. There should be no assumption of good faith after User:Zazazozo111 has posted this hoax three times as an article. Uncyclopedia is that way, and this would be a suitable hoax/humor article there. The user's markup skills seem very well developed, as if he/she had already done quite a bit of editing on Wikipedia under a different account. Edison (talk) 23:04, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - my understanding is that userspace is not for keeping copies of articles that don't have a periwinkle's chance in a supernova of ever being included in mainspace. → ROUX   ₪  21:04, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete I could see this being marked humorous and kept, but considering the user's prior attempts to put it into mainspace and lack of other contributions, that might not be the best way to go. Gigs (talk) 14:08, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Mark as "Humor" and move to a subpage, like User:Ned Scott/Upper Peninsula War which was once a famous hoax in article space. The author is admonished not to place it in article space again. Edison (talk) 02:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, user has no constructive contributions. Second choice is move to a subpage with a humour tag. Stifle (talk) 09:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't think we should save this one with a "humor" tag - (a) it isn't good enough: the Upper Peninsula War article was very plausible and lasted some time, this was an obvious hoax at first sight and was speedied within minutes, and (b) there is Uncyclopedia for this kind of thing, we don't want to encourage people to do it here. JohnCD (talk) 09:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete If this hadn't been submitted as an article before, I would perhaps have said keep. However, as I suspect that in the future, the user may try to move it to the main article space, then I think it should be deleted. --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 22:11, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
