Timeline of Hello Venus

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The speedy deletion tag was removed, so I am bringing it to AfD. To anyone familiar with K-pop, this is an obvious hoax article. The real history of Hello Venus is mixed with facts and fiction about other girl groups, including Girls' Generation and After School (band). A lot of it is simply fanfiction. There is nothing to merge because the real history is already on Hello Venus. Random86 (talk) 19:57, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as certainly questionable, nothing convincing to keep if it's all questionable. SwisterTwister talk 23:56, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because it is still a hoax. Although the creator did add some semi-accurate information since I first started my quest to get rid of this hoax, their edits are still obviously not in good faith, since, for example, some of the new content is copy-pasted from the main Hello Venus article except the dates are changed. Like they literally went into those sentences and changed the dates for some reason. Extremely blatant inaccurate information is still there too, starting from the 3rd section. (The first two sections are less inaccurate.) I am not going to post my lengthy paragraphs with justification and evidence for why this is a blatant obvious hoax and should definitely be deleted. I will just link them here instead so you can go read them: 1st rant 2nd rant. (Note: In the second rant, I mention f(x) being referenced on the page. That has since been deleted and replaced by something else false.) In addition, even if all of the information in this article were to be replaced with accurate info, I still think it should be deleted because it'd be pretty redundant. Hello Venus has not been out for that long, and this is not a discography, so I think the main article should contain any timeline info. I don't think I have seen many timeline articles for bands anyway. I may not have seen any. Either way, this page definitely needs to be deleted.

Comment – The page creator has just added more fictional content to the article, including elements inspired by Produce 101. Random86 (talk) 18:48, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
