Possible hoax, If not, the subject isn't notable. RadManCF ☢ open frequency 00:05, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- probable hoax. If not, it's certainly unverifiable anyway and should go. Reyk _YO! 00:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete original research if not a hoax as there are no online stories on this topic. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
~~Speedy~~ Snow delete as a probable hoax, not to mention the only Ghit is the article itself (and RubberNut Bob "is a celebrity where I live"? Come on!). Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. By the way, speedy deletion is for blatant hoaxes, not probable hoaxes. This is indeed probably a hoax though, but is at any rate unverifiable and fails to meet general notability guidelines, lacking significant (or any) coverage in reliable sources).--Beloved Freak 12:56, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:V and WP:HOAX. I tried to at least fix the format of the article, but once I got to "When the nut is busted open a condom pops out," the believability of this story all but vanished. So, I checked online and not only does it not get Google News, J-Stor, etc. results, the only three regular Google results even are all related to this article. Thus, it is almost assuredly a hoax and even if not is not something of any importance as we have nothing to verify it beyond the article creator. While we WP:AGF, we do not do so at the point of being naive and even so we need at least one non-Wikipedic source. As there are no other uses I could find of this name in fiction or otherwise, we can safely redlink this article for no merge or redirect locations exist.

Delete Joke or urban legend. The term gets only two hits on Google: this article and this AfD. (Maybe I ought to write an article about a similar old joke, about a guy who tried to cross an abalone with a crocodile. He was hoping to get an abadile, but instead he wound up with a crockabaloney. OK, I'll stop now.) --MelanieN (talk) 15:07, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
