Busaphobia

edit

Author keeps removing speedy tags, so bringing it here. Supposedly means fear of Jerome Bettis, running back known as "the bus", who retired last year. WP:NEO, WP:NFT. -- Fan-1967 17:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It's not even a neologism; it's a hoax. Google search brings up one result, which is the creator's user talk page. Srose (talk) 17:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete - absolute rubbish, and the fact that the editor keeps removing the tag only gives more evidence. Blowski 17:44, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - not that hoaxes are not eligible for speedy deletion as per WP:SPEEDY -- Whpq 17:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Reply - Sorry, I know I'm breaking WP:AGF, but a user who keeps removing a speedy delete tag without giving any explanation on the discussion page is usually not one with the best interests of hte community at heart. Blowski 17:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • It is possible that the new user read Wikipedia:Patent nonsense, as linked to by the speedy deletion notice, and realised, quite correctly, that it didn't apply. Hoaxes are not patent nonsense. Patent nonsense is content that is incomprehensible, not content that is false. False content is subject to our verifiability policy, and is deleted through the normal deletion process. WP:HOAX explains this. Uncle G 18:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as WP:HOAX -- Whpq 17:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as WP:HOAX that clearly fails WP:V. --Satori Son 21:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete agree with above. Zephyr2k 03:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
