The result was speedy delete as vandalism. The ultimate giveaway is that the article is written as if 2009 was in the past, and Grutness is also on target. I see no reason to waste anymore time on this. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Central NZ United Gust FC[edit]

I declined the speedy on this because I know jack about football. Apparently this article is a hoax. We can delete it here or any admin who knows about this mysterious sport played in places that aren't America can speedy this as blatant misinformation.

Speedy delete - Sorry, I should have given more evidence on the talk page but had a client meeting. Any team in the A-league would be mentioned on their web site: [1] (Note that the league is being expanded but from 8 to 10 teams). You might also expect some mention in the newspaper of the team's home town [2] or int Wellington where their "game was moved" [3]. It should also stike you as slightly odd that the article gives results for the 2009-2010 season. The author seems to have periodic outbreaks of vandalism. Hmm, can I hplease have some of whatever they are on? :-) dramatic (talk) 07:54, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy as utter WP:BOLLOCKS. If the 2009n results aren't a giveaway, then this might be: The Phoenix's future in the A-league is in jeopardy since FIFA aren't impressed with the cross-confederation nature of their participation. No-one in their right mind would consider adding a second NZ team to the league under those circumstances. Oh, and Palmerston +"A-League" +Gust -wikipedia returns 18 ghits in New Zealand, all but two of them weather-related. Grutness...wha? 08:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as unverifiable. The author has a dubious contribution history, so a burden of proof rests on him to show where he got this information from. - Richard Cavell (talk) 11:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete as a hoax. Although the author's clairvoyancy / imagination is to applauded (not), I really must second Grutness's declaration of WP:BOLLOCKS. Bettia (rawr!) 11:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
