Fast Delete. Unsourced article that is unclear in it's focus. --Killer Moff (talk) 13:30, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unsourced original research. --Finngall ^talk 15:11, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per WP:NOT#ESSAY; but note that the phrase "fake democracy" is in fairly widespread use, notably in 1 2016 Essay by Helen Epstein in the New York Review of Books, The Cost of Fake Democracy, [1].E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:51, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy'd for A1. No context, just a disjoint rant by a single editor. Jergling (talk) 19:47, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While certainly eligible for a WP:SNOW. Essay articles are not eligible under CSD. TimothyJosephWood 19:51, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An essay implies some structure or goal. This is borderline nonsense and lacks context to explain what "Fake Democracy" is. Is it a concept? A neologism? A movement? A rock band? Jergling (talk) 19:57, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I am naming my new rock band "Fake Democracy". Please don't steal it. Jergling (talk) 19:58, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
