Cambodian Midget Fighting League (hoax)[edit]

Delete We don't need an article for this. Too uh... crufty? There are many internet hoaxes. This is not the place to write them up. Prod remover included more useful information, but not enough for me. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 15:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom unless seriously sourced. So it appeared in numerous newspapers and in FHM? Citations, please. RGTraynor 16:09, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, unless serious references are provided. -- Grafikm_fr (AutoGRAF) 16:21, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. PJM 16:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a well referenced article about an actual hoax that was taken up by many mainstream media sources. For great justice. 20:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; mention on the very popular Ricky Gervais Show podcast gives it verifiability and notability typically not achieved by Internet hoaxes. --phh (t/c) 21:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep Actually, it was the The Ricky Gervais Show episode mention that motivated me to write the article. TJ0513 17:29, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I am unaware of that show, but I am sure it cover lots of subjects. Not all of them are notable and includable into WP. Thanks. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:50, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Agreed, yet some are relevant. Furthermore, *your* personal (lack of) familiarity does not constitute a litmus test for deletion. You've already made your vote, now please allow others to contribute to the discussion. TJ0513 04:23, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Of course, my unawareness of the show was not an argument for deletion, you misconstrued my comment. As for your second point, this is my nomination! We don't own articles, but we sure own nominations here on WP! It's widely done, I am surprized at your criticism. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 06:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep if verified -- unsual hoax, and one which, apparently, was taken up unwittingly by the press. -- Simon Cursitor 07:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:HOAX. Stifle (talk) 16:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Keep - the story is well-known among Britons due to Ricky Gervais' mention of it. I searched specifically for this story on Wikipedia and would have been surprised and disappointed if it had not been on here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.72 (talk • contribs)
