Java update virus

Contested prod. I'll give the same reasoning again:There is no such thing as the "Java update virus". The "fake software update" window is a fairly common trojan/malware delivery system, not a specific piece of software, has had no coverage in reliable sources other than in-passing "make sure you're updating Java from the correct site" mentions on tech blogs and the like, and certainly doesn't warrant an article of its own. There are (literally) millions of viruses, malware and trojans, and aside from those which have a genuinely significant economic or cultural impact Wikipedia shouldn't be trying to document them. The page creator admits that no sources exist (see the article talk page), but wants this article kept to "raise awareness of that virus causing a research group to carefully research how that virus works then they will create a reliable source for that article". I've tried to explain that this isn't how Wikipedia works, but with no apparent success. Mogism (talk) 23:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for lack of sourcing. An individual virus is only notable if there's specific sourcing for that virus. This article is unsourced and so far no more than rumour and scaremongering. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:33, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
