The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete. WP:CSD#G12 copyvio; WP:CSD#G3 blatant hoax. The explanation is on the homepage of the site it was copied from:

ZombieWorldNews.com is a fictitious news site. It is real world narration,
encouraging reader input to affect the developing news reports. ZWN has been tracking the Necro-Mortosis Undead plague as the story evolves in 'real time' since late 2006 to the present day.
Through editorials and reader participation we are exploring the impact such an event would have on humankind. The reports, events and characters are fictional,
it's intention is for fun and entertainment purposes only.

Speedy delete: Hoax. Some quotes (BTW, Necro Mortosis, or Death within Death, has several pages online describing it as the Zombie virus):
1. "There is no known antidote at this point (Beware internet scams claiming to sell cures or inhibitors)" Duh; viruses don't have antidotes. And an internet scam warning?
2. "Only infected people will reanimate upon death." Uh huh -- BenTels (talk) 18:04, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There's little need to do research on this one. The article as written states outright that this is a virus that causes people to come back from the dead. Either this is fiction dressed as fact, or it is a hoax article. It's unencyclopaedic either way. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 18:06, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Addendum: I looked anyway. This is part of an elaborate hoax spread across the WWW, that comes with its own fictional news network and fake corporate WWW sites. Uncle G (talk) 18:06, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
