The result of the debate was keep. -- BD2412 talk 04:22, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
Delete, I think. Ok, this is what AfD is for. I do not believe that the website linked here offers anything but a hoax product. Googling for "hufu hoax" means I am not alone. I can't find any evidence that this product has ever been manufactured, sold or despatched, although one supposes that one might be arrested for likely being a cannibal if one were to so order. At the least, we have verifiability problems, at worst we have an internet hoax that is nn. -Splash 22:53, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- keep. I've heard about this many times from multiple sources, so I think this is famous enough to warrant an article. If there is doubt to its legitimacy, then that information should be in the article, of course. Brighterorange 23:23, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Strange, exotic, and controversial enough to be Wiki-worthy! UniReb 00:40, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Provisional Keep. I've heard of this, and am not sure that it isn't a hoax, but even if it is a hoax it still might be wiki-worthy. I did turn up an interview of the creator of this product in the "Valley News" (local newspaper of White River Junction, Vermont) dated July 5, 2005 by Jessica T. Lee. It reports that the company only had 144 boxes of the product to start and sold out in two days. Crypticfirefly 05:32, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, this got some news coverage [1] and should be considered verifiable. Probably the article should be cleaned up to indicate that it is basically being marketed as a novelty/joke product with corresponding T-shirts as the primary product being offered by the seller. --Metropolitan90 06:21, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- 'Keep, seems like there a lot of hits out there, but rewrite to make it clear it's a hoax. Zoe 21:51, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep per Metropolitan90 and Crypticfirefly. Nothing to indicate it is a hoax that I can find.—chris.lawson (talk) 19:14, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
