The result was Speedy delete per CSD G3. All these articles were clear hoaxes, and the editor had also added several other hoax articles (including inventing an elephant species!). I've blocked them as well as their painfully obvious sock puppet below. Nick-D (talk) 06:42, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Selkent[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unreferenced WP:HOAX article, by the creator of the blatant hoax Battle of Bruree, on a battle unmentioned in any historical source online despite its claims of 1000 dead in a battle that would be of enormous historical significance for Irish military history, had it ever taken place. The article is modelled on the well-documented (the battle, that is) Battle of Sulcoit. Author attempted to swap one for the other at Mathgamain mac Cennétig in this edit. One of a series of hoax battle articles created over a week by this article's creator, which are included below. Instawisdom (talk) 05:41, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am a proffesional when it comes to Irish historical records and myself has heard about the Battle of Selkent. I read what Instawisdom had to say and I say that thats a sham. The Battle of Selkent was a true and important battle in Irish history so I say that it is important in the article of mediveal battles and wars.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Irishhistoryman74 (talk • contribs) — Irishhistoryman74 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
