Record Golf
Although deleting the article based on it being a "blatant hoax" may be questionable, there are multiple other reasons for it not to exist. First of all, it would have to be considered notable and be verifiable with reliable sources. Even then, there might be issues of conflict of interest, original research, and since you said you are trying to use Wikipedia to "legitimize" it, promotion. Let me know if you have any more questions. MrKIA11 (talk) 09:50, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
