Joakim Tangstad[edit]

Probably a hoax or autobiography, no verifiable facts

Delete This article has many faults. First of all it does not come with any verifiable facts, just claims of different types. Secondly this article does after my opinion not come with any bio facts (like birth, education, present jobs etc) which can be used to verify that this is not a fraud. Third of all there is a claim that this person is the first non-sami to live in Lakselv, something that I doubt since there have been non-sami living there for probably hundreds of years. And it also makes unsourced claims in relation to Lakselv Airport, Banak. In the talk page it is claimed that the person has been on TV2 (Norway) and TVNorge, but not what programs, if it was a regular or as a prop. This is not mentioned in the article itself. A serch on Google and Kvasir (Norwegian serch engine) shows nothing that can verify that the person is actually noteworthy of any kind. Neither has repeated questions to the author about finding some sort of source that can verify the integrety of the person has not been answered. The article has also been deleted previously on September 7, while this article was recreated on September 8. I suspect this article is either a hoax or an autobiography.

Delete, fails WP:BIO, WP:V. --Huon 09:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per Huon. Coincidentally, the page's author has other "biographical" contributions that have been called into question, and he likes marking major edits as minor, but I'm sure that's only a coincidence. My Alt Account 10:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
