The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete per WP:CSD#G3 (blatant hoax). E.g. he was 8 when the book "The Nobel laureates: how the world's greatest economic minds shaped modern thought" that he was supposedly cited in was published, and Krugman's Nobel didn't happen until seven years later. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly a hoax, no more likely that a 16-year-old would have the attention of these two notables, especially since there are zero sources for the claims. The original version of the article claimed he was a medieval knight, the second version that he was a British solider in the early part of the 20th century. No sources, merely extremely unlikely claims of notability, but my speedy deletion tag was removed. Woogee (talk) 20:33, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as a blatant hoax. Possibly salt as this has a pattern of recreation dating back almost two years now. Glenfarclas (talk) 20:37, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I removed the a7 because there is a claim of notability. There are no sources to back it up and this appears to be a blatant hoax and should be deleted as a g3. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 22:07, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
