WP:NOTWEBHOST. All these drafts seem to be about a fictious reality based on Invbff's personal opinion. They also confirmed on
this talk page that this is their "private page"; this person is clearly not here to build an encyclopedia. ―

Delete. These drafts have zero merit for inclusion on Wikipedia, are predominantly pure fiction, and would never pass the AFC process should they ever reach that point.

Delete. Per nom. Appears to just be using Wikipedia as a place to build their own fictional contest pages.

Speedy Delete under criterion G3 as a blatant hoax.

* SplitDraft:Cyprus and Greece results in Junior Eurovision into separate drafts - I didn't find any false information in my cursory check. I know for normal Eurovision countries have separate articles, but I'm not sure these are actually notable. Not an issue for MfD.
If anybody believes any of these are salvageable, the primary thing would be to remove all unverifiable or fictional information, which I could find in all of the ones I said to G3, and likely exist in more.
WP:V is a policy, not a suggestion.

By the way, 70% of the creator's edits are to these drafts. If these pages are all deleted, I recommend the closer consider blocking per
WP:NOTHERE (although I do not think an indef is appropriate). I would also recommend the closer consider revoking the creator's extendedconfirmed rights, as they only have 180 edits outside of draft space. After a discussion on
WP:DISCORD, I have concluded that this user's XC rights should be kept.

Cyprus' tenth entry was "Kaneís kai poté" performed by Italian singer Ralph Lautrec.
Cyprus wasn't announced among top 10 qualifiers and failed to qualify for the first time since introduction of semi-finals. Cyprus finished 19th with only 18 points: 6 from Italy, 4 from Iceland, 3 from San Marino and Turkey and 2 from Hungary.
However:
The cyprus broadcasting corporation didn't even apply for a place in the 2012 contest
The 2012 contest had only 12 competing nations, so they couldn't have finished 19th
The 2012 contest didn't have any semi finals
The 2012 contest didn't have qualifiers
How can a country fail to qualify but also finish 19th?
Italy, Iceland, San Marino, Turkey and Hungary didn't compete and as such didn't get votes
Ralph Lautrec didn't start their career and release their first song until 2017, the only major contest they seem to have appeared in is "the voice Italy" in 2019
The junior Eurovision rules require that a contestant must be a native of a country or have lived there for at least 2 years, so an Italian singer couldn't compete for Cyprus
There are no records of the supposed song existing anywhere on the internet
The 2012 competition was the 10th event, so for this to be cyprus' 10th entry they would have had to have competed at all the previous events, which they didn't, they missed 2002, 2010 and 2011.
etc etc etc. It's not worth the effort of keeping or merging drafts filled with blatantly fake information and someone's screwing around making up a fake contest, it can only do more harm than good.

Apologies, I had only fact checked like two claims and found them both true. Moving to G3 section.

it states 46 countries will compete, this is more than the total number of countries that have ever competed at junior Eurovision (40) and more than the maximum number that can participate in one contest and have the voting system work (44) and is more than double the maximum amount that have previously competed at any one event (20).
Junior eurovision does not use semi-finals, so that entire section of the article is fake.
The whole "will consist of two shows" section is fake and cannot be verified anywhere on the internet
There is no "big five" in junior eurovision, that entire sentence is fake
There is no "grand final" the entire sentence about it is fake
The whole "increasing the number of finalists from 26 to 27" section is fake, there have never been more than 20 contestants, there is no big five, there are no finalists and there is no qualification round.
The September 2022 announcement that contains all this information is fake for obvious reasons
etc etc etc. There isn't a single sentence in it that isn't some form of hoax! The entire lot of these drafts need deleting.

The thing is, when you strip all the nonsense, you end up with a topic which is actually notable and actually will need an article. It's just that there's nothing there but nonsense, so when you strip all the nonsense you end up with literal nothing.

@
Casualdejekyll The 2023 event isn't notable (yet), it's an obvious fail of the
WP:FUTUREEVENT clause of
WP:NEVENT since nothing can be said about the event that is verifiable and not original research. Even if you could write a reasonable draft about Eurovision 2023 (and you can't at the moment because we know nothing about it,
WP:CRYSTAL applies) it would be better to start from scratch than try to fix up a hoax article that is 100% fake information.
