The result was thanks to Uncle G, I now know this is a real fictional persona. Grandmasterka 18:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Unknown Hinson

Okay, this is an odd request, I know. I believe that this guy is notable; however, virtually every piece of information in the article is an obvious hoax or joke, as stated in my prod, and the author seems to have no intention of making it into an encyclopedia article. I think this should go right now until someone is willing to write an encyclopedia article on this topic. It seems beyond cleanup, because I don't think any of this content is really that usable.

• Keep - You have written YOURSELF that this is a notable subject, the article just needs cleanup. AfD is NOT cleanup. The effort you put into creating this AfD could have been spent trying to do a re-write yourself. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 23:57, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Please re-read my nomination statement. I don't know much of anything about the guy, but I know there's nothing salvageable from this. Grandmasterka 00:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Grandmasterka has a point, to an extent. This article presents fiction as fact. Unknown Hinson is a comic persona, just as Tony Clifton was for Andy Kaufman. Uncle G 12:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks! That's what I needed to hear, rather than a really rude and uninformed comment. I had no idea. Grandmasterka 18:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
