An article from 17 September 2011 was recently PRODded with evidence that it was a hoax created as a marketing ploy for a restaurant. It purports to describe a tradition in Catalan culture of serving small portions of food. If deleted, would it be eligible for inclusion on this list? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:09, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am surprised to see WP:DWHOAX link to WP:PROD as a suggested remedy. WP:PROD is for uncontroversial deletions so we don't do much research there. Also, the strongest remedy offered by WP:PROD is WP:SOFTDELETE. I think we want stronger action taken for confirmed hoaxes. I think we should replace the WP:PROD link with WP:AFD. ~Kvng (talk) 04:26, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
