The Ali Empire[edit]

Obvious hoax. In fact, I think this AfD is a complete waste of time, but I am posting this at RHaworth's insistence. There is absolutely no reason not to speedy delete this and all associated pages created by the same user and IP. --Nlu 06:50, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Totally unverifiable and surely a hoax. —HorsePunchKid→龜 06:55, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per WP:V. 374 Google results see [1] with no references to this claimed business empire on the first page. Capitalistroadster 07:23, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral ! Nlu says have I looked at their website. The answer is yes and that is why I am puzzled because I can find: http://lagaliya.aliempire.co.uk/ http://jennys.aliempire.co.uk/ http://gmg.aliempire.co.uk/menu.html and http://romessa.aliempire.co.uk/ . None of which, I admit seem to go very far from their front pages but which all seem to be a lot of trouble for an hoax. -- RHaworth 07:26, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A major hint as to the reason is contained in the same user's vandalism of October 28; this gave the hint that the user is 19 years old. It was probably created as a class project. --Nlu 07:38, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - if not a hoax, then this self-promotion. JoJan 09:22, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
