I can't find any evidence that this term is real. Adam9007 (talk) 00:59, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per tag I added. The article is quite clearly an incoherent hoax. LjL (talk) 03:08, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm... I did consider tagging this CSD A11, but I thought the claim of popularity in schools might be a credible claim of significance. Adam9007 (talk) 03:20, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Adam9007: maybe it is, but as I see it, the problem is that the article text is a complete hoax. As I said in the edit summary where I placed the speedy tag: it gives false information about a term that sounds Latin, but then proceeds to call it Greek, then a made-up derivation of an English loanword from Latin. And something about murder. If there is a legitimate "qua bono" term, this article is simply not about it. LjL (talk) 15:29, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It is practically incomprehensible. I think the term they are referring to in law may be "cui bono". "Bona fide" means "in good faith", and has nothing to do with Bono as a personal name. I can't tell if this article is a hoax or just a total misunderstanding of Latin terms.--Mojo Hand (talk) 14:48, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
