I nominated this for speedy deletion as a hoax; an otherwise uncommunicative editor (an SPI, possibly related to the creater) removed it without explanation. Read the article; it's hardly credible. If evidence is found that Johnson Dipshit and Wildcorn Jangle-Shits did indeed win this contest I stand corrected. Please get rid of this soon. Drmies (talk) 16:02, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as obvious hoax: The Beer30 Derby dates back to 1871 and was the brainchild of Col. Meriwether Conway, who was the grandson of Paul Bunyon. Carrite (talk) 16:05, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete; " Count Fagula" and "Lord Bumblesharts"? C'mon, there's no discussion needed here. Hairhorn (talk) 16:17, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree--but the CSD template had been removed by a different username. Drmies (talk) 16:40, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, an obvious sock; this is something of a weakness in the CSD system. This can still be speedy deleted but an admin has to take the initiative to do it. Hairhorn (talk) 16:43, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
