Remember The 13th NASA Hoax?
A countdown website that went viral on October 3, 2013, they had a special announcement for the world and everyone thought it was NASA. It was covered by major news outlets around the world. http://gooutside.uol.com.br/2434 http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/512195/20131008/nasa-rememberthe13th-fake-announcement-hoax-website.htm#.UlypUvLD-xn http://www.chron.com/news/article/Suspicious-website-cites-NASA-in-hyping-4869314.php It was a large trend on social media for a while. NASA was unable to comment due to government shutdown. Days later, It ended up being a hoax. Remember The 13th was mentioned on Alex Boese's Museum of Hoaxes. http://revistagalileu.globo.com/Revista/Common/0,,EMI343457-17770,00-DE+NOVEMBRO+O+MISTERIOSO+HOTSITE+DA+NASA+E+LEGITIMO.html http://news.ameba.jp/20131010-306/ http://technologie.gazeta.pl/internet/1,104530,14724944,Zapowiedz_najwiekszego_odkrycia_NASA_okazala_sie_byc.html http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2013/10/05/2013100502548.html?news_Head1 http://www.zdnet.co.kr/news/news_view.asp?artice_id=20131005225305 http://technologie.gazeta.pl/internet/1,104530,14724944,Zapowiedz_najwiekszego_odkrycia_NASA_okazala_sie_byc.html http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/10/04/remember_the_13th_viral_marketing_silliness.html http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/remember_the_13th_the_big_reveal
The same people behind this hoax was the same people involved in Brian's Announcement which can be found in the Brian Griffin article. http://www.dailydot.com/business/socialvevo-family-guy-hoax-company/ http://www.news.com.au/technology/online/the-mysterious-internet-marketing-of-socialvevo/story-fnjwmwrh-1226778110305 SocialVEVO is the name of the viral company who created these 2 viral sites and more. Many people also reported that remember the 13th could've been a phishing site to steal emails but it was never confirmed. The hoax is ranked as one of the top 10 best hoaxes of 2013. http://www.dailydot.com/lol/best-hoaxes-2013/
The hoax is mentioned even long after it was over. It is considered a notorious NASA hoax compared to the recent ones. http://www.dailydot.com/lifestyle/nasa-letter-hoax-fake-jamie-jones/— Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.162.190.150 (talk) 19:55, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
A "hoax" that isn't a hoax
Hey, what do I do if a "hoax" is scheduled for deletion but I happen to know it's NOT a hoax: indeed, I can even provide one or more scholarly references therefor?
What do I do?

- Providing more specifics generally gets you better advice, but based purely on what you have said here, providing third party, reliably published sources that discuss the subject in a significant manner is generally what needs to be done to save a page from deletion. :Personal knowledge of Wikipedia editors doesnt count. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:56, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Taured
"Taured" redirects here but there is absolutely nothing in the article about it 74.90.214.164 (talk) 03:57, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Incorrect Nomenclature
Many of the examples given do not fit the accepted definition of a hoax. That is, a lie perpetrated simply to demonstrate the gullibility of the victim, with no intention to benefit financially, and with the joke being revealed voluntarily by the perpetrator after a relatively short time. Many of the cases mentioned were outright frauds, or were lies which the perpetrators never admitted to be lies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.146.107 (talk) 22:53, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Keow Wee Loong
Only reliable source(except judging by his own words that contain statements that can be proven false) proving what he did as hoax, and it isn't very clearly said, either: http://time.com/4403093/fukushima-exclusion-zone-japan-photos/ ※〶 02:29, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
