Carrot McCoon

Purports to be the bio of a forgotten bluesman (see talk page for details). Nothing found on google and cited sources do not mention McCoon (full text checked through amazon and print.google.com). Looks to be a hoax although editor claims its based on OR. In either case completely unverifiable thus delete. --JJay 01:05, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as "Silly vandalism" under vandalism under WP:CSD criteria. No article on Allmusic.com for him and no Google hits outside Wikipedia see [1] so problems with WP:V. According to the article, he fails WP:NMG. Given that I strongly doubt that there is or was a Southern bluesman called "Syphilis Carrot McCoon" and that Coon is widely considered to be a slur against African-Americans, I consider that "speedy deletion" as "silly vandalism" is warranted in this case.
