- Speedy delete G3 - it's an April Fools joke, which the article even admits. ~ Baron Von Yiffington . talk . contribs 16:53, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose speedy deletion (but still support deletion) - I do not think this satisfies G3 as vandalism because the subject of the article itself is not made up. A page should only be considered a hoax/vandalism if its deliberatly false. While the article's subject has to do with someone making something up, the fact that they DID make it up is still true. Still, I think it's non-notable and should be deleted (just not under CSD). Nick—Contact/Contribs 17:21, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Waitrose. It certainly is not a G3 speedy delete ("blatant hoaxes" in G3 refers to something that the article's creator made up, not a reliably-sourced article about someone else's joke -- there's a big difference). However, this wasn't notable as far as hoaxes went-- got a newswire story about it [1] on the day it happened, but seems to have missed out on any historic notability [2].

- Keep The article is not made up and should be kept because it is a notable event. Chocolate4921 18:52, 17 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chocolate4921 (talk • contribs)
