Non-notable person. None of the references in the article that purport to support info in the article have any mention of this person. Geraldo Perez (talk) 00:52, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I'll let the community sort this out. I deleted it as a hoax, but then I found an Alexandra Brager (note the different spelling of the first name) and she has a page at IMDb, and there is a video game called Pair of Kings. Now it's still not clear to me how accurate any of this is, but I can't call it a hoax, so I restored it and removed the tag. (There's a whole bunch of related articles all created by the same user.)--Bbb23 (talk) 06:22, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Looks the hoax has got to IMDb as well. I found the actual episode on NETFLIX that Alexandra Brager was purported to be in per IMDb page on show, watched the end credits and nobody with that name was listed in the credits. Threshold to put stuff on IMDb is pretty low. Geraldo Perez (talk) 06:45, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Based on other information at IMDb related to the articles created by the same user, I gave serious thought to everything there being false (except the Pair of Kings's existence). The problem is that when the alleged hoax is this elaborate, I'm unwilling to speedy delete it. I'm not saying, of course, it's not a hoax. At the end of the day, some consideration should be given to the potentially disruptive behavior of the creator as well.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:13, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is better to let the AfD run to conclusion so have better justification for speedy in future when this article gets re-created. I have reported what I found to IMDb as likely hoaxes. Looks like this person is running an basic web hoax about being an actress and creating circular support on different web pages to support claims. I expect that the wiki editor adding to this is either her or a friend. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:09, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Source of the page is Buddy Handleson. Page is just slightly modified copy using the same references with minor changes to cites replacing Handleson's name with Brager's name. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:20, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
