Deletion of Nekonoshoben

Comment: per . To be honest I'd like to keep it because it's hilarious, but we really can't make exceptions to the no hoax rule

Comment: I can't prove beyond doubt that this is a hoax, but balance of probabilities does suggest that. Conversely, I also can't verify the offline sources, and hence ''for me'' this fails . (And please, don't anyone point out that offline sources are also acceptable — I know that full well; I'm saying that ''I'' cannot verify this.) For the same reason, it also ''could'' fail  (note that much of the article contents are unsupported by citations, so there's no knowing where they came from), and possibly other things as well. (Further factors suggesting this may be dodgy: the article has no incoming or inter-language links, so it really is a lone orphan. Odd, that. Oh, I forget — it's a very 'secretive' method, right.) Now, if I could find even one reliable online source to corroborate at least some of this, I might err on the side of keeping it, but as I can't, I think the safe and sensible option is to delete. I for one would rather miss out on ten articles on genuine, verifiable topics, than include even one on a hoax
