Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Nazarian
Hoax article. No Google hits for "Daniel Nazarian" "The Liberty of the Fleet". No Google hits for "Hans Nazarian". No Imdb entry for this supposed actor. The photo is obviously not from 1899. Also the Fleet Prison was closed before he was supposedly born. The creator has shown himself in other places to be a troll. And delete Image:Actor-dmnazarian.jpg, as well.

- Delete: 1. "performed in over fifty plays during his three years at university" is impossible. 2. "paid him a gratuity of 10 Pounds 3 Shillings. Nazarian used the money to finance a 3 week production of "The Liberty of the Fleet"' is also impossible. 3. The photo has fashions from the 1930's on and has modern film and so is not 1899. 4. He would have been 74 at his death, and yet he is supposed to have died in an accidental tram incident. 5. "Daniel Nazarian" is showing up in other Wikipedia articles. However see this for evidence of a London anonymous person writing the story/myth in a guest book. This is not proof, as it has no fact check and is a voluntary piece of information. Now, is this one of our mirrors? I think this is a spoof, but I urge anyone (RickK, interested?) to search our articles thoroughly for places where this information might have been slipped in.

- Yes, WordIQ is one of our mirrors. I just deleted the Daniel Nazarian entry from our version of that article, as well as the pages for his supposed birth and death dates, and List of male actors, or something like that. It's also highly unlikely he would have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame without an entry in IMDb. RickK 22:45, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
- I just went to http://www.hollywoodchamber.net/, the Hollywood Walk of Fame official website, and there is no Daniel Nazarian listed as having a star. RickK 22:50, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
- And in the "It's right in front of my nose" category, there are two spellings: Nazarian and Nazarrian. Geogre 17:49, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- If this is patent nonsense, isn't it a speedy delete? Average Earthman 12:21, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Comment: An apparent hoax is not patent nonsense according to the specific cases for speedy deletion. Several articles that were thought to be hoaxes have turned out to be true and were rescued by the VfD process. Not that that seems to apply here, but I'm still on my campaign against the misuse of speedy deletes. Rossami 16:58, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
