Vanity article. Several Google searches found nothing about this Ruby Mau. Where is "Catdom"?
DeleteSpeedy delete based on patent nonsense and sock puppetry from the author. Gazpacho 06:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Do not delete. Ruby Mau isn't overly famous and isn't on Google yet. (the previous unsigned comment was made by 71.35.100.233, who incidentally is also the author of the article in question)

- Delete, might very well be a hoax. (Left comment on user talk page to tell him to stop voting) --JoanneB 07:13, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- ONE: I didn't do all those, or create the article. I have a ton of friends over, including my sister who were commenting. TWO: It's not a freakingm hoax. I can't believe you'd even think that. Why would it be?
- Let's see... it refers to a store in "Tacoma, WA, Catdom" run by "King Shontom's sister," who works for "Catdom Human Costumes, Inc" and likes fish treats? I know some furry roleplaying forums where people would really get into that, but it doesn't really sound like an encyclopedia article. - Pasiphae 07:38, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Sockpuppets, blatant who-gives-a-rip vanity and horrid, bloodcurdling ad cliches. Joy. Censure user, reset all Wikipedia servers and salt the earth. Or simply delete with the help of our friendly, professional staff! - Lucky 6.9 07:41, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Research turns up several businesses named Ruby's Fashions. None of them satisfy the WP:CORP criteria, and the business that this article purports to describe isn't even one of them. The article cites no sources and is simply unverifiable. Delete. Uncle G 11:33, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Del per Uncle G. encephalon 16:28, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Uncle G and Pasiphae. --Metropolitan90 16:57, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Where to begin? Obvious hoax, so delete as unverifiable. I can't tell whether other voters are just being straight-faced, but based on the article itself and comments above, this is an article that purports to be by a cat, whose sister operates what is apparently a cat fashion boutique. Possibly a dead cat (per comment above, "My website, Shontom's World"). Does this rise to the level of BJAODN (bad jokes and other deleted nonsense?)
