Uncited orphan, with no apparent interest in anyone adding references. There are mentions out there, including some in formal print. Lithopsian (talk) 14:12, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note the reason for the article creator being banned. It doesn't necessarily mean this article should be deleted, but it is mentioned and helps to explain some of the edit history and previous WP:BLAR attempts. Lithopsian (talk) 14:17, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom; no evidence of significance or existence. I don't support any redirect, as there are issues with the verifiability of this concept, and my checks show unreliable sourcing online at best. Iseult^Δxparlez moi 14:42, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Note the history: this was first prod'ed, then instead redirected, then restored "without prejudice against a further deletion" because the redirect target didn't cover it, then draftified, then pushed back into mainspace because "draft space is only for new articles". In short: nobody wants this thing anywhere. There's nothing keep-worthy here, and there never was. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:08, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as appears non-notable. Rubbish computer (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 18:41, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I find sources showing something of the sort exists, or maybe it doesn't. I'm not really interested in figuring it out. This article has no sources. If it exists it would need a rewrite anyway. Delete. Oaktree b (talk) 21:37, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article about a prank may be a hoax, but even if it’s not, it’s not needed here. Jacona (talk) 10:47, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
