Source searches states that this television series was originally aired on SCTV, not TPI (an Indonesian TV station now known as MNCTV) ArdiPras95 (talk) 02:53, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Additional note: After I searched for this TV series on MNCTV's official website, there is no synopsis for it. ArdiPras95 (talk) 02:59, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have rejected speedy deletion for this article. The criteria only applies to blatant hoaxes, and the template clarifies that "This only applies to cases where the deception is so obvious as to constitute pure vandalism." A series which may or may not have been shown on TPI's roster eight years ago does not meet that definition.

I can confirm, however, that I have not seen any RSes related to a series by this name on TPI. (I wouldn't go by MNCTV's website, though; it's unreasonable to expect a TV company to list information on an eight-year-old series that ran before the company changed its name) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:40, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm asking for a WP:TNT specifically because it started out as a hoax. All the information presented in that article are entirely fabricated. There is no good version to go back to so it would be much better to be deleted. ArdiPras95 (talk) 11:00, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I never said it wasn't a hoax. I said it doesn't fall under the "blatant hoax" criterion of CSD, which it doesn't. A blatant hoax would be like "Chris Woodrich is the president-elect of the Republic of Wikipedialand". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:34, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Crisco 1492: Are you seriously advocating on this massive hoax? A Google search on this TV series (in Indonesian) reveals that this is an SCTV television series, so this article is a hoax. Therefore, I urge you to delete this ASAP before it can be mirrored. ArdiPras95 (talk) 21:59, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Um, no. Did I say I was advocating it? "I never said it wasn't a hoax." "Saya tidak pernah mengatakan kalau ini bukan hoax". The criterion is blatant hoax, and this does not meet that criterion. Kalau ArdiPras95 tidak bisa berbahasa Inggris dengan baik, sebaiknya belajar dulu daripada salah paham. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:28, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to the nominator: the user notification about this AfD is primarily meant for the creator of the article, which is Aichi210498 (talk · contribs). --HyperGaruda (talk) 12:53, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete TNT as a hoax/blatantly incorrect with no good revision to go back to. I have every reason to believe that this is the same individual from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Adam Aflah II/Archive. They seem to create all these hoax articles in the English, Indonesian and Malay wikipedia. See this article's history in the Malay Wikipedia. The history shows edits by 2 accounts -Armano Hakiim (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Adam aflah (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and also an IP 111.94.212.34 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). All of these seem to belong to the same individual. I also noticed that the individual seems to copy content from one article to another - here for example, they copied content from id:Ulat Kepompong to id:Kepompong (sinetron). They had previous done something similar at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mey Chan - copying content from other article and also adding some of their own. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:57, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow, nice detective work, Lemongirl. Now that you mention this, the IP that has been editing Kepompong (111.94.214.247 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)) is indeed similar to the one in the SPI. Both of them lead back to the same ISP: Fastnet. Both have also been editing in Be Strong, Geum-soon!. --HyperGaruda (talk) 20:46, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:G5 speedy delete per Lemongirl's obervations. --HyperGaruda (talk) 20:46, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete Fall under WP:G5 criterion of CSD and also per Lemongirl. Bagas Chrisara (talk) 13:21, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as there is no evidence of this show actually existed. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:28, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
