Kurt Vögeln

This is a hoax, apparently a joke on Karl-Heinz Grasser. Delete, although I had a good laugh when I discovered this page. Martg76 09:38, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Since noone is voting, these are the reasons why this is a hoax:

• Never heard of the guy.
• No google hits.
• No entries for anyone named Vögeln in the Austrian online phone book.
• The text is an abbreviated version of Karl-Heinz Grasser.
• Although supposedly an alumnus of the University of Klagenfurt, there is no diplomary thesis under his name in the library catalogue of Austrian universities.
• But most of all, when you read the name aloud, it sounds suspicially similar to what could be understood as "good shag" in the Austro-Bavarian variety of German. This is particularly interesting as the article was created this March, when there were some reports in the press indicating that Grasser had not been entirely faithful to his fiancée.

• Delete. Either a hoax or completely nonnotable. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 03:14, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Martg76's rather convincing summary. Alarm 22:53, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax, per Martg76's comments, unless some really verifiable evidence is presented. Barno 00:16, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
