Draft:Zepotha[edit]

Completely fictional movie that serves practically no purpose but to promote the music of the creator; it's currently making rounds on TikTok, started by the creator of the idea, somebody who created an '80s horror movie soundtrack' album. A song under this album has been used to associate with "Zepotha" through the app.

This article is not encyclopedic and is nothing more than a viral TikTok bit. B3251 (talk) 20:01, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

theres a bunch of socking/meatpuppetry going on as well see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zepotha3. Lavalizard101 (talk) 20:03, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

also adding Draft:Zepotha 2, Draft:Zepotha (1984), Draft:Zepotha (1987) and Draft:Zepotha (1987 Lost Film) to this. Lavalizard101 (talk) 20:09, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I tagged all these as G3. At least one of them (Draft:Zepotha) has been deleted for G3 before. It is very obviously a blatant hoax so I don't think the caveats about CSD in WP:DWHOAX really apply. —⁠PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 23:03, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural close - All have been deleted per G3. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:48, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Will some administrator, who can see the histories of these deleted drafts and so can see who submitted them, warn the submitter? MFD is a content forum, and the drafts have been deleted, but the creation of hoaxes is a conduct issue. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:43, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I notified all the creators upon tagging for CSD, and the notification for G3 basically includes the same information as the hoax user warnings. Some of them were also specifically warned by others prior to my notifications. There were a lot of other SPA contributors besides the creators who seem to have come en masse from TikTok, though (see the SPI case page). I have not seen any other disruption related to this since the deletions, so perhaps it's not worth warning everyone involved now, but someone is welcome to if they feel it would be helpful. —⁠PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 03:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
