As noted in the recent PROD, looks like this is a hoax. All the references appear to be fake. Another one for the WP:HOAXLIST. I only removed the PROD because an IP user did so, even though they appear to be some kind of LTA/vandal. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I looked up the references before PRODing and they appear to be made up. The only info out there in the 'net are mirrors of this article. Jip Orlando (talk) 20:50, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete a blatant hoax with zero sources in Iceland. Alvaldi (talk) 20:58, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Looks like a pretty evident hoax and the sources appear equally made-up; for example I could find no evidence that anything called Holyman Times exists or has existed. While the other two references have names that match actual living people, none of the people with those names are journalists or appear to have ever written any articles, let alone ones about this supposed individual or with those titles. The article not only completely fails any relevant notability guideline, it fails basic verifiability. - Aoidh (talk) 21:00, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I too have scoured the internet trying to find Icelandic originals of the references or Icelandic echoes of any of the info. Mummi = Guðmundur. There is a Bergið, founded in 2018 and not an exclusive club but rather a drop-in counselling centre. The creator, the eponymous Seramummi, started the article on 20 March 2014 and does not appear to have edited anywhere else (including to upload File:SéraMummi on Commons; he added it to the article). The account was created on Icelandic Wikipedia on 25 March, probably automatically when he opened a page there; no edits. So agree with Knowledgegatherer23; probable hoax, in any event non-notable.

Delete Non-notable, or a hoax - either way doesn't belong on Wikipedia. AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:22, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a likely hoax. DFlhb (talk) 02:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Apparent hoax. Holyman Times does not appear to exist as a publication; other sources do not contain sufficient bibliographic detail to verify for sure but I can find no evidence of them. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 12:43, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
