Hoax article, been around for 16 years without any sort of sources or anything else; BEFORE only pulls up mirrors or copypastas of this page and no news hits what-so-ever (string: "Indigo Muldoon"). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 18:44, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women, Fictional elements, and Comics and animation. CAPTAIN RAJU^(T) 19:12, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As I mentioned on its talk page, additions to actual article content come from two single-purpose accounts, Moore575 and 24.118.236.102. Searching on google prior to January 1, 2008 for "Indigo Heat" yields only unrelated results, and "Indigo Muldoon" only produces the article in question. This definitely seems like a hoax to me, or at the very least it falls far from meeting Wikipedia's notability guidelines. aismallard (talk) 19:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it looks like the procedure on List of hoaxes on Wikipedia is to move the page as a subpage. So if the AfD goes through, an administrator will move it instead of deleting it? aismallard (talk) 23:00, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Same reasoning as above, almost no mention of it anywhere on the greater web. Tux9001 (talk) 19:59, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As per above. Article does not cite any sources, and a search on the web too does not show any related material. Kpddg ^(talk ^• ^contribs) 02:47, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: While this is probably a hoax, if it weren't a hoax the article should have been about Indigo Heat, the graphic novel, not Indigo Muldoon, the character. Gildir (talk) 09:27, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, then add to the Wikipedia:List of hoaxes, 16 years earns it a prominent place. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:15, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:GNG possible hoax.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 16:14, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and move to hoaxes per above. "Gitchi Manito" seems to be a diety in Ojibwe tradition and "El Shaddih" may be El Shaddai, so I suspect it was written with a hodge-prodge of various spiritual traditions. MSG17 (talk) 18:00, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Good job for discovering this hoax. Scorpions13256 (talk) 21:02, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Credit belongs to CompliensCreator, who first mentioned it on Twitter. aismallard (talk) 21:08, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technically I posted about it on the Talk Page first, and then posted about it on Twitter because I thought it was fascinating, but either way it was fun to realize what I had found. Thanks for the credit! CompliensCreator (talk) 22:04, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was me being pinged to your Tweet in an unrelated Discord server that prompted me to do a BEFORE on it and then take it to AfD. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 23:55, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete For previously stated reasons, this is almost certainly a hoax. It should probably go to the hoax museum. CJ-Moki (talk) 21:55, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per my arguments on the original talk page. No citations, all mentions outside of this character appear to be clones from across the web, and even if it's not a hoax, it's surely not notable enough to earn a page. CompliensCreator (talk) 22:04, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, don't think there's much to say that hasn't already been said. Good job spotting this. QoopyQoopy (talk) 14:52, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As failing WP:GNG miserably (although I don't think it qualifies as a "hoax" so much as something someone made up one day that slipped under the radar). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:42, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"I made this amateur graphic novel with zero notability and wrote this Wikipedia article about it" would be WP:MADEUP. This doesn't exist at all, it's a hoax. (Most of the examples on WP:MADEUP are things that exist if you can describe them - a ball game, a new word, a conlang.) QoopyQoopy (talk) 01:12, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and add to list of hoaxes as per above. Shocked this lasted so long. Gabe114 (talk) 12:25, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a hoax. Surprised it's still up after so long, but at least that's getting fixed now! --Kbabej (talk) 15:21, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
