Confirmed. I was not able to delete this awesome music video post.
If a user posts a video post, to YouTube at least, it immediately becomes not possible to delete.
I click the delete button, I confirm, and yet it is still on the site.
I posted a wikipedia link after this as a sanity check, and I was able to delete it.
Somehow, only video/YouTube posts become un-deletable.
I just tried to post a Vimeo link, and I was able to delete it. So not necessarily to do with potential video tagging, maybe? (does HN even auto-tag vimeo?)
It appears that somehow youtube.com posts become un-deleteable on HN.
