Fake TV station Xzinger (talk) 02:23, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple fake television stations created by User:Rajesultanpur and his various alts, User:Prashantpandeyking, User:Prashantpking, User:Khanbabaji.

Found more fakes created by User:Rajesultanpur.

Delete? I am the admin who declined Xzinger's speedies as I didn't feel they were blatant enough hoaxes to meet speedy. Per a conversation on the user's talk, I understand the issue more now. The 9x had some false positives and/or the hoax has spread beyond Wikipedia. If another admin feels they can go as G3/G5 feel free to undo my declines as I'm about to head to bed.

Delete - I can find no reliable sources to verify that this TV station exists. The text of the article is just copied from 9XM. -- Whpq (talk) 15:15, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - Text is copied from 9XM, and this seems to be a blatant hoax by a blocked user. G5 it. Jdcomix (talk) 16:15, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The user is not blocked and although highly likely an alternate account as stated above, there had not been a formal SPI case. --Whpq (talk) 17:08, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - The creator of hoax pages User:Rajesultanpur has now been banned.Xzinger (talk) 03:32, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - Not banned, but blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet. —C.Fred (talk) 03:37, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
