Possible hoax, cannot find any mention of this in Google Somno (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Very child-like and simplistic hoax. Unreferenced. WWGB (talk) 07:46, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I have not been able to find anything at all on "Hugh The A4 and friends", save for this Wikipedia article. When I consider this, alongside the diction of the article, I am convinced that it is a hoax. The creator of the article appears to be a single-purpose account (the account is called HughTheA4AndFriends), just to note. JEdgarFreeman (talk) 07:53, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete hoaxalicious. JuJube (talk) 09:07, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Scrap it Imitation of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, and a poor one at that. Nerdluck34 (Talk and suffer the consequences) 09:08, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • HUGH THE A4 AND FRIENDS IS NOT A HOAX OR COPYING THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE! IF YOU DELETE THE PAGE ALL PAGES WILL BE PUT UP FOR DELETION BY ME! — Preceding unsigned comment added by HughTheA4AndFriends (talk • contribs) (moved from talk page by Somno (talk) 09:38, 31 August 2008 (UTC))[reply]
  • Delete Hoax. The comment above me does little else but confirming that. Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 09:55, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete And by their acts shall we know them...Methinks the editor has shown his hand above. doktorb wordsdeeds 10:17, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If your account has the same name as the article you create as your first edit, then it's either a WP:HOAX and/or WP:COI. The threat above does little to sway my opinion, and actually hurts its cause. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 14:10, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, the creator blanked the AfD page and wrote "HUGH THE A4 AND FRIENDS IS NOT A HOAX OR COPYING THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE! IF YOU DELETE THE PAGE ALL PAGES WILL BE PUT UP FOR DELETION BY ME!". I'm now changing my vote to Strong Delete and propose a possible ban on the creator of this page for vandalism and continued threats (just how exactly can you put all pages up for deletion?). Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 14:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that this author/vandal believes that you own the articles you create. I'll leave a WP:OWN warning on his usertalk. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 19:24, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete. I can't believe it wasn't speedy deleted. Delete it, and watch the author. Dayewalker (talk) 18:50, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
