Unsourced. Even though I live in China, I haven't heard of it. --Eat me, I'm a red bean (take a huge bite)i've made a huge mess 23:04, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's literally all over the Internet. The only problem is that the sources I could find I'm not sure would be allowable sources, unless an article about a hoax allows the original sources of the hoax. DN-boards1 (talk) 23:07, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The article is unreferenced and I have not been able to find any discussion of the hoax in reliable sources. Yes, there are plenty of kook blogs spreading the hoax, and some skeptic blogs refuting it, but nothing reliable as needed for notability.

  • Delete Fails um... everything? No assertion of notability. WP:N WP:V WP:EVENT. This could have been a speedy candidate.--Savonneux (talk) 05:50, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete User DN-boards is in a campaign creating useless articles with complete disregard to Wikipedia's spirit and editors' feedback. BatteryIncluded (talk) 01:07, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment BatteryIncluded appears determined to attack me and the field of astrobiology with insults such as "little green men" and calling what is legitimate "fringe". He has also opposed practically everything I have voted in support for - be it moving "Ceres (dwarf planet)" to "Ceres" or keeping Life on Europa a separate article. He has mocked me and the entire field of astrobiology. And now, he is attempting to vote to delete a rather common Internet hoax for what appears to be one reason: because I made it. He probably has never read this article, or thinks it's another astrobiology one. The hoax is about as common as the Mars hoax, the only problem being that this hoax is so out there, no one attempts to debunk it because it's so obviously a hoax. I am offended by BatteryIncluded's remarks towards me and astrobiology. I apologize if it seems that I am attacking HIM, but I feel he is attacking me.

  • Strong Delete. Very short, no reliable sources or external links for verifiability, and not notable at all in my opinion. --189.25.214.56 (talk) 04:46, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
