Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Royal Government von Hessen in Exile

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Per WP:SNOW, and considering the apparent offsite disruption there's no point in prolonging this. Borders on speedy deletion as a hoax, but even if intended to be taken seriously, there is no way that this nonsense is going to be kept. Any established editor with a record of productive contributions may contact me if they know of reliable independent sources covering this topic, and I'll reopen the discussion.  Sandstein  17:51, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

• Delete. Unreferenced article about a group of unspecified people who are claimed to hold several views clearly inconsistent with easily ascertainable historical facts. Maproom (talk) 11:42, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
• Delete. This is self invented nonsense and not supported by any sources. Even if there really is a family with descent in the female line from the House of Hesse. It's always been understood that the Hesse-Cassel branch had the right to succeed in Hesse-Darmstadt and vice versa. That has nothing to do with the adoption of Landgrave Moritz by his distant cousin of the Darmstadt line back in the 1930's. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 13:39, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

• Delete. The "Royal Government of Hessen in Exile" has a website published on Weebly, but aside from that, I couldn't find any sources that substantiate the existence of Terry's claims to the Hessen crown. They also have a Facebook page, where thy announced on December 30, 2015 that they are declaring war on ISIS (I'm not joking ... one Facebook user responded to the post by saying "It is about time that someone will stand up and tried to stop Isis"). This could very well be a hoax, but I don't there is enough information to distinguish this from an obscure, legitimate claim. In any event, the absence of reliable sources about this subject means that deletion is appropriate. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:57, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

• information An attempt to canvas on this project page has been set up on Facebook. See here. We might expect some visitors to this project page. I quote: "We are very upset to announce that, our wikipedia page, that had only been uploaded yesterday will not most likely be taken down. This removement was caused by those opposed to the Royal Family. This anti-monarchists purely vandalised the page with explicit content and malicious stories to unsurp the Royal Government von Hessen. Right now, we need your support. I ask of you to go to our wikipedia page and click the "contest deletion" button under page issues. Then locate the talk page and type "do not delete". We are ashamed that ignorant people would tear down the RGVH. Al".Gerard von Hebel (talk) 17:18, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
