No idea why so many people have already looked at this and a hoax speedy deletion was declined, when the article is about a 21 year old youtuber, and all sources are about a 50-something professor/welder.

Please read articles and sources before taking these actions. And please speedy delete this now anyway. Fram (talk) 13:28, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete: as G3. Bbb23 this was and is a clear hoax, I am pinging you because you previously declined Fram's tag. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:43, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per nom's original request. While WP:HOAX does instruct the utmost care is to be taken, it is clear that in the most obvious cases, obvious hoaxes should ... be tagged {{hoax}}. ProfCanny is such a page. It is an excellent point, and so basic, that while the article is about a 21-year old YouTuber/streamer—supposedly born November 15, 2003—the sources discuss a "The 50-year-old [who] teaches and supervises research students at the faculty of engineering at Ahmadu Bello University". Absolute stuff and nonsense. Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi 13:51, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
