Completing nomination on behalf of anonymous editor 136.181.195.25, who posted their rationale at User talk:Masem. That rationale is included verbatim below. No comment on the merits, except that my own brief search turned up no sources of any kind - even something that was just announced would have a press release. None of the named actors seem to have acknowledged involvement in the project, either. The relevant criteria seems to be WP:CRYSTAL. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:34, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article has no sources to verify it's a real thing, and all attempts to find sources have only led to off-site discussions of said Wiki article, with consensus declaring it fake. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 13:04, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete - This was brought to my attention on my talk page, and I would have probably CSD'd the article, but I see no reason to have a prolonged AFD on this. --MASEM (t) 15:49, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. I'm not sure why the G3 was declined twice, or how blatant is being defined. The only available sources on this are message boards excited from some misinformation found on Wikipedia. Cut and dried hoax. czar · · 15:55, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Closing admin: PaRappa the Rapper (TV series), a similar article, was also deleted twice as G3 over the past two years. You may want to escalate this case. czar · · 16:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
