The Fax Machine Monster of Basildon[edit]

Hoax article about a series of novels, plus articles about the first novel and the author. Although the first of the series was allegedly a best-seller, published in 2002 and translated into twenty languages, it is quite unknown to Amazon and Google Books, as are the three others said to have been published since. Note that no ISBN numbers are provided. The author may be a real person, and indeed may have had something to do with SSADM, but even that looks spurious ("not revealed until 2008") and is unsourced; and since his article is mostly about the novels he has no sourced notability and it should go, too. Delete all. JohnCD (talk) 19:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all no attempt to indicate notability; search for person/books failed to find any mention. Agree it's a probable hoax. -- MightyWarrior (talk) 20:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete All as hoaxes, although I must admit the fake book covers made me laugh. Beeblbrox (talk) 20:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki somewhere--but I'm moving this to my user space. This is too good to let go--there has to be a home for this somewhere. TallNapoleon (talk) 21:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's an even better idea, I believe Uncyclopedia is part of our little family now, and this is just the kind of silliness they live for. Beeblbrox (talk) 21:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy DELETE or move to WP:BJAODN Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 21:44, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the result is delete or speedy delete, could the admin responsible please move this to my userspace? This is too funny to let go. TallNapoleon (talk) 21:53, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete this hoax and block the hoaxer. Qworty (talk) 04:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as hoaxes (I suspect the Hinds article is the realname of the SPA creator). BJAODN needs its own website for this stuff. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 20:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment They have one. See my link above. (It was moved off-wiki after BJAODN was stopped here). --Bfigura ^(talk) 20:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks- I knew BJAODN was shut down, didn't know it existed off-wiki. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 05:02, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Hoaxalicious. Edward321 (talk) 23:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all as hoaxes due to inability to find sources and the unbelievability of the articles' content as well as their presentational style. Funny, though! Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 18:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
