       Looks like we've got a new winner on Wikipedia's list of longest-lived hoaxes! 21.15 years, added in 2005 and removed two weeks ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia#Hoax_articles_extant_for_15+_years

       I also like this one discovered last year - fake poet, complete with absurd life story, bibliography, and citation. I'd read "Four Backwards Men in a Coffee Cup" (1968) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia/Joseph_H._McCartney
