- Well, I didn't actually tag it as such, specifically because it didn't seem to fall under that category: Patent Nonsense (G1): No meaningful content or history, text unsalvageably incoherent (e.g., random characters). This does not include: bad writing, [...] immature material, [...] hoaxes, [...] unless the material is actually unsalvageably incoherent. — Asbestos | Talk (RFC) 15:33, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
seems closer to G2.I get the (G1) reference now. Its from WP:CSD not WP:PN. Good point.- At any rate, this article is some sort of a vanity or exaggerated biographical joke, certainly not a hoax (because it is unbelievable and unverifiable), and not encyclopedic. Hard to tell what to call it because it is nonfactual and nonsensical. For whatever reasoning, we should also delete the article Samuel Knapp, by the same authors.

- Delete. We definitely need a CSD category for obvious nonsense/hoax biographies, which are depressingly common. They're pretty instantly recognizable, along the lines of "[real name] is a small, furry forest creature..." or [real name] is a bad-smelling green alien..." But until then we're here, I guess.
