300 degree club[edit]

Was tagged CSD as a "hoax", but that is not a valid criterin for speedy. I strongly suspect that this is a hoax, however, so I'm bringing it here. Deville (Talk) 14:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have also joined to this AfD the article 300 club. I know it's bad practice to do this after the debate has started but they're really duplicate articles so I think this will be uncontroversial. Pascal.Tesson 14:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete,Neutral, one look a the only reference in the article: [1] is enough to confirm this as a hoax in my opinion. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 14:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Addition: To my surprise, Google reveals some truth to the concept [2], especially when looking at [3] and [4]. But even then it is nothing more than a praCtical joke by some south pole researchers in lack of doing something more useful. It is hardly worth the title the most exclusive club in the world. --Cpt.

Comment Ow, that would hurt like hell... --Roninbk _{t c #} 23:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Actually, besides the being-at-the-South-Pole thing, this is very common in Finland and doesn't hurt at all. And why just run around, when one can go ice swimming too. Prolog 23:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the best case is that this is a club whose existence can only be verified by the handful of people who have stayed at the south pole station. The worst case is that this is a legend circulated among the south pole researchers. Pascal.Tesson 03:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Extra comment Actually, I just proded as a hoax the article 300 club. The guy who wrote it got his temperatures crossed and stated that you needed the temperature to -200F.
Delete per nom but I did enjoy reading it! Nigel ^(Talk) 12:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both in case it comes to it (or does that make it twice as cold) --Nigel ^(Talk) 17:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the nominator. This is not a important hoax. Yamaguchi先生 21:59, 29 September 2006
