There's international news coverage including the http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/31/world/europe/31hoax.html?pagewanted=print NYT which seems ample to establish notability.  Note also that the AFD is broken - there's no tag. no discussion on the talk page, no search has been done. Relisting this three times without checking out the basics of the nomination is poor.  Please see our |deletion process and speedily close nominations which do not satisfy it rather than cluttering up AFD with half-baked drive-bys
