Our guidelines for writing articles about these kinds of subjects explicitly warn against using News-of-the-Weird (in The Daily Telegraph as such a story) or slow news day reporting to establish notability of an event of dubious provenance. Tabloid journalism is right out (using The Sun as a reliable source as is done in this article is pretty embarrassing). In this case, a cursory investigation led to the conclusion that this brouhaha was over a hoax perpetuated by a single individual. There is not likely to be any further development of sources which would satisfy our independent sourcing requirements and this remains essentially a WP:ONEEVENT problem here. jps ( talk) 12:55, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
