Sakaru Awazaki[edit]

Hoax characters created for a non-existent Naruto spin-off. No reliable sources, no information to verify these characters exist, and fan-made characters fail WP:FICT notability guidelines. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 05:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Seems like a case of deliberate deception by the creator, who labelled his page with {{sprotected}} upon creation and also didn't give the actual Japaense name of his made-up character, but instead put the katakana for Sasuke Uchiha, which gets far more GHits (presumably to fool people who might copy and paste the native name into search engines to try to check notability). cab 06:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps they just copied the infobox from Sasuke Uchiha and didn't think to change the katakana (or even know how to spell with it). That being said, the semiprotect template indicates someone who doesn't want to understand or accept that fanfiction doesn't belong on Wikipedia.

Delete. Fancruft of Naruto.--Edtropolis 16:01, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Fails WP:V in any case and is obvious fancruft. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 23:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Under what speedy criterion do they fall under? NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 00:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete another hoax from a hoaxmonger that has tried to pull this off before. JuJube 08:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per NeoChaosX (Duane543 03:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]
Speedy Delete per Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7. "Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content." 100% non-notable fan fiction character.[1] Delete the image as well, due to the uncredited non-free image of Konohagakure in the background. –Gunslinger47 01:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
