Possible hoax? The only refs I could find online were to Facebook and the creator shares the same name. Either way it still is unreferenced. (Plus the dates are all this year) Wgolf (talk) 04:18, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete - G3 (hoax) - How could a member of parliament have:
  1. No links to it (All members of parliament would be linked from at least one other article (the electorate/division page) and this ones an orphan)
  2. No reliable sources - the electoral commission would have him listed as a member
  3. His apparent electorate (Vadodara East) doesn't exist.

Also:

  1. No mention on Bharatiya Janata Party the party is apparently vice-president.
  2. This ones the real humdinger: Article says Patel in chairman of the Indian airpot authority, official Indian airpot authority clearly states; "Chairman: S. Raheja"

-Ha ha (someone should put this on the Wikipedia Hoax page). I did have it as a prod until I looked at all of the dates). Wgolf (talk) 04:49, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Wgolf:, This is fun. One more: List of members of the 16th Lok Sabha Does not list him as an elected member of the 16th Lok Sabha which the article says he is in. Oh and considering the user who wrote this name is Smeetesh Patel it is almost almost certainty a hoax. NickGibson3900 Talk 04:54, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Now ironically it isn't one ha ha, I thought it was when I noticed the name also lol. Wgolf (talk) 04:55, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
