Either a hoax, or just not notable, as I can find nothing whatsoever in the news or elsewhere about this purported event. Glenfarclas (talk) 08:08, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, WP:NOTNEWS at best. No sources or evidence of being an encyclopedically notable event. 88.112.56.9 (talk) 08:16, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete hilarious article, but sadly delete. No notability at all. Definitely award the article creator for a sense of humour though DRosin (talk) 12:36, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Hoax. There is no way that this event would have gone unnoticed or uncriticized. I can't even find mention of it in blogs. The photo is dated to Dec 29th, 2004. Abductive (reasoning) 14:59, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Hoax. Joe Chill (talk) 21:36, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Question I also think it is a hoax, but even so, why would you put a speedy tag on an article already running an AfD course?--Sky Attacker the legend reborn... 04:55, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One answer would be to speed up and free resources (people's time) for something more important than a snowball case. -- Alexf^(talk) 15:59, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. -- Alexf^(talk) 15:59, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
