These articles about a 13-year-old Portuguese singer-songwriter and his records appear to be a hoax. The articles are completely unreferenced; see the main article's talk page for searches, which turn up absolutely nothing relevant. The record label's website does not mention him, there is an Allmusic entry but it's someone else, and there are no articles in Portuguese Wikipedia. From this old version of the user page of the author Salgado96 (talk · contribs) it appears that he himself is "Bruce Buckley". JohnCD (talk) 17:23, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, apparent hoax. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete preferably speedily. This is an unreferenced (and unreference-able)
blp of a minor. I'm virtually positive this is a hoax. See Davis J. Johnson on the Portuguese Wikipedia. Same photo, same "real name" given for the artist (Renato Miguel Salgado de Freitas). And worse, the Portguese WP reveals the name of his school, as well as an exact birth date which also appeared in an earlier version of the Bruce Buckley article [1].

Comment User:MiguelRob has now created Davis J. Johnson (singer) here (also edited by Salgado96). I've added it to the deletion list along with a spurious album article One Time (album). Note also the extensive edits to Salgado96's user page by two IPs attached to the vodafone network in the UK.[2] . Voceditenore (talk) 20:07, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the lot. Drmies (talk) 20:08, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment thanks, Voceneditore, now I look, there is undesirable personal information in the history of this one, too. It's a clear enough hoax that I am now happy to delete it
