Lucerne Open[edit]

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

Looks like a hoax. The infobox website links to the Romanian Open not the Lucern Open. I couldn't find this tournament on google. This is the second one of these I've found from editor User:Menzeliotsky Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:48, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. There was a Lucerne International Championships back in the 30s but this one is certainly isn't that. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 07:48, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hold up... is this really a hoax? There's a few other articles associated with this one...

...just not sure hoax is accurate. All of them are completely un-sourced and so need major work but it's a bloody complicated hoax if it is one. Someone has gone to a lot of effort, especially at 2012 Lucerne Open – Doubles. If this really is part of the ITF Women's Circuit then I would be inclined to think notability could at least be argued. That said, I can't find any sources to back this up - which is strange given the inaugural competition was held last month. Apparently. Very strange.

Which was why I didn't put it up for speedy delete. I could find nothing on this tournament or the player that is a main focus of the editor who created it. That would be player Alexandra Machedoska which I also put up for afd. The ITF or WTA has no record of her. We are also talking about this at the Tennis Project and it seems there are multiple people involved or perhaps sockpuppets. Because it was elaborate I thought to myself that maybe my skills at finding sources was on the fritz when I afd this, and that maybe someone else would instantly prove me wrong. So far no one has. We have 4 editors involved right now... Menzeliotsky, Croszia, Mustafiska, and User:Anyalivictor. All but Anyalivictor are new from August-September. Ah, The interesting problems we find at wikipedia. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:37, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, understand entirely where you are coming from. By far the most "good faith" course of action. Just really strange... Stalwart111 (talk) 08:41, 18 September 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Delete all as hoax. Nothing whatsoever on Google about this supposed tournament. Sandstein 12:39, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
