The Joshua Wells Institute of Higher Learning[edit]

PROD tag removed, bringing for discussion. There's no reference to this on Google at all; I suspect it's a hoax, and I'd suggest it definitely has verifiability issues. The editor, after removing the PROD tag, placed a comment in the article stating this institution conveniently has little Web presence. Also note that the creator of the article has uploaded an image that, in one edit, states the creator of the image is Joshua Wells. Delete Tony Fox (speak) 06:23, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DON'T DELETE : The picture was most likely developed by a student or someone outside of the school. The fact that information about the institution's "conviently" minimal web presence was entered after the deletion of the PROD tag simply shows that the PROD tag was seen and that viable information was added in which was mistakenly not added before.

Delete. Per non-verifiability and non-notability. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 13:40, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Utter nonsense. Claims there are no webhits "due to the small size and obscurity of the city of Patna, India" -- BS. Patna is a major city of over 1 million population. NawlinWiki 14:13, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax. No existence of a 'Sir Joshua von Wells' can be established. No citations to show that any of this actually happened. A bit of a contradiction to not want students using the internet, yet supposedly a 'student' of the institute was able to find this article and upload an image for it. --DarkAudit 15:46, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: We should be on the lookout for more hoaxes such as these with the trailers starting to appear for Accepted. -- nae'blis _(talk) 17:45, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
