Group of unverifiable articles for seemingly non existent tournaments. The 2013 Girls' Youth European Volleyball Championship exists, but this similar tuornament can not be found through Google, and the one source given is about the Youth championship, not the "school" championship. Perhaps there is some translation problem, but with nothing given to verify this, and the very strange titles of some of the articles, there is little left to keep. Note that no tournament with these dates is e.g. listed at the official CEV calendar[1]. Elaborate hoax or some strange verification problem? Fram (talk) 08:22, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominated are the following articles by the same creator:

  • Delete all The FIVB articles have no source and searching the FIVB site turned up no matching events with similar names, dates or locations. The 2013 event article has results and I can't find anything to match. The use of "Girls' School" isn't normal FIVB terminalogy (would expect youth or junior) for articles. Unless we can get some clarification, meaning sources, from the article creator, I think all articles should be deleted. Ravensfire (talk) 15:25, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Note, I've left a message on User:Diego123141's talk page asking for sources. Ravensfire (talk) 15:30, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Since the creator of these articles has ignored this AfD but added a new article on the same hoax, I have also nominated 2012 FIVB Girls Cup International of School for this AfD. Perhaps, if these are indeed determined to be hoaxes, some uninvolved admin can indef block this editor? Someone is bound to consider me involved, so I'ld rather not do it myself... 06:59, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
At this point, the articles have been tagged as unsourced and as hoaxes and personal notes left on the creator's talk page. I concur, and don't think anything other than a block will get their attention. Ravensfire (talk) 13:41, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • If more evidence is needed that these are pure fabrications: the latest article, 2012 FIVB Girls Cup International of School, claims that a major tournament was held in Greece between 22 and 26 november 2012, with Angela Levya of Peru as Best Spiker. Strangely, at exactly the same dates, the actual 2012 Girls' Youth South American Volleyball Championship was held in Peru (quite some distance from Greece), with Angela Levya from Peru as Best Spiker as well (and as MVP). It seems unlikely that she was at both tuornaments at the same time, and it seems equally unlikely that the FIVB would organise two such similar tournaments at the same time. Please nuke these articles and indef their creator. Fram (talk) 07:59, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • More evidence, several of the 2014 articles now have results. Even with a massive does of WP:AGF this is still dreck. Also added their user page to this list as it's a copy of one of these articles. Ravensfire (talk) 13:54, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to closing admin - please consider blocking Diego123141. Despite several notes on the named user's talk page, none of their articles are sourced and they all appear to be hoaxes. They have removed the AFD notice on several articles. An indefinite block to get their attention and push them to using sources might help. While they appear to also use various IP's originating from Peru it hops around so putting together a list of previous IP's used probably won't help much. Ravensfire (talk) 13:57, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also nominated, the next hoax article in the series, Gabriela D'Odorico. Delete and indef block are the only solutions here. Fram (talk) 06:48, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
