String-Man (Story)

Non-notable comic, no sources or Google hits to verify anything in the article. Elaborate hoax perhaps, or something that was made up one day. Prod removed by author, sending to AfD per procedure. Wildthing61476 (talk) 14:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as vandalism/hoax. The bulk of the article is Spider-Man with some names and such changed, the remainder is nonsense. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It technically isn't patent nonsense, and certain hoaxes aren't speedy deletable. Whether it's blatant or not to constitute vandalism, I'm not sure. (Personally not familiar with comics)--TBC !?! 14:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Blatant hoaxes are speediable under G3. --UsaSatsui (talk) 17:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
See my comment below. --TBC !?! 17:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copy-pasting another article with a couple names changed is vandalism, as well as a copyright violation (repasting the Spider-man article doesn't retain its history, thus violating GDFL). Please do NOT defend this type of junk. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not defending it, I'm simply stating that it shouldn't be speedily deleted. It's not a copyright violation since the text wasn't directly lifted off of the Spider-Man article. And yeah, I don't know much about comics, so I'm not sure if it should be considered a blatant hoax (thus constituting vandalism) or not.--TBC !?! 17:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, appears to be non-notable; no refs; nothing comes up on search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgagnon999 (talk • contribs)
Delete, per Andrew Lenahan; copy paste from spider man with a few changes (some mentions of spider man remain) - Dumelow (talk) 14:49, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete Seems to qualify under G3 in my opinion; blatant vandalism. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 15:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, This either a hoax, made-up or simply vandalism. Nothing comes up on Google. Proclaims to be published by Microsoft (who as everyone knows, is a computer company and does not publish comics), Created by a single-use account called Smhero.

Delete. Giving it as much of the benefit of the doubt as I can, this is made up in one day. At worst, it's a G3. --UsaSatsui (talk) 17:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. A hoax. --TBC !?! 17:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as blatant hoax. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 17:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per multiple comments above. If it doesn't meet speedy criteria we're probably getting pretty close to where it could be Snowed--Cube lurker (talk) 19:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
