User talk:Odditës
My talk page is here. Be civil
I have deleted the article as a probable hoax. Of the two references, one URL is a dead link and the other nowhere mentions the subject. If you can show me real references, I can recover the article as a draft into your user space. If the article is indeed a hoax, then please note that deliberate addition of factually incorrect information to Wikipedia constitutes vandalism, and may result in you being blocked from editing. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:03, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- To the contrary, there are some classes of articles that can be summarily deleted by any administrator upon discovery; these are defined by the speedy deletion criteria, and blatant hoaxes are among the criteria.
I have reviewed the article, but the facts remain: Google search for the politician's name returns nothing, one of the websites used as a reference does not exist (and is not available on Internet Archive either due to being blocked by its robots.txt file), the other nowhere mentions him. So at best, we're left with a completely unverifiable article; at worst, with a hoax.
So let me ask you again: do you have any references that mention the person? If so, I'll be glad to restore the article. If not, then there's no point in doing so; verifiability is one of the core Wikipedia policies, especially in case of articles about living people. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 06:36, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
