Not a real television station. Bobjim45 (talk) 04:58, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; there is indeed no such television station as "WGOR." (The article claims it to be virtual channel 9, which might come as a surprise to WSYR-TV.) This might fall under the realm of a hoax; would this qualify for a speedy deletion as such? --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:07, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure it qualifies for speedy deletion as it's not a blatant hoax. It's a bizarre enough piece of disinformation with a lot of specific, plausible details that it makes me think it was created in Good Faith by someone who has gotten something wrong like it's actually WOGR or WGOA or something and we're just missing the search terms. Probably best to give people a bit of time to figure out what it's supposed to be. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 06:01, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty sure it's someones youtube creation [[1]], there was no tv station with the call letters "WGOR" in that time period. All of these seem to be hoaxes too Goanimate Movie Television Network, CHPD, Goanimate Movie Television Network (US channel), all created by the same editor today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobjim45 (talk • contribs) 07:07, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete G5 appiled WGOR "GoAnimate"? Another fantasy TV vandal; GoAnimate is a cheap animation site that allows you to create a short video with whatever you want using Family Guy inspired animation and terrible computer voices, including false TV station promos. It's a very blatant hoax and I get the feeling by the MO that this is the return of Supermariofan12 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (more here in an ANI archive). There's no TV station by this name and the user is currently on a false article creation spree, so I suggest immediate blocking of HillarySmith1992 (talk · contribs) as a SMF12 sock and deletion of this and their false contributions; all their created articles have been flagged with a G5 tag.

I have reported the user to WP:RVAN Bobjim45 (talk) 07:31, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In light of this new evidence, I withdraw my earlier objection to speedy deletion. I also looked into some of the other details and found nothing that could even be plausibly mistaken. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 08:03, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
