This article fails to establish that the term it discusses exists, let alone that it is notable. After I PRODed the article for this reason, the author erased my comments on the Talk page and then responded that he had updated the article to show that "vroomtones" exist, but it still doesn't and neither do his references. A Google search shows that the only use of the word is in a single reader comment on a blog page claiming their existence. I've restored my comments to the Talk page.

  • I'd love to, if it is one, except I have no way to prove it! (If it were demonstrably a hoax, what would the CSD reason be, vandalism?) —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, blatant or obvious haox is vandalism, tagged Duffbeerforme (talk) 12:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
