The result was speedy delete as hoax vandalism. I checked the on-line staff directory for Sheffield Hallam University, there is no doctor there with the name claimed. Uncle G (talk) 14:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greg's Law[edit]

Unverifiable, possibly a hoax, otherwise completely non notable.

I'm also nominating the following similar article by the same author:

Brandon Scale (a Brandon Scale exists, but it is a medical term, measuring the chance you have to develop an ulcer)

Delete I just finished writing this article and companion article's AFDs and Fram beat me to it. My proposed text: Apparent joke hoax, along with a companion article by the same user I am nominating separately. No relevant Google results for article name or expanded article name in text. The law is stated as being considered seriously by writers of "social theory" and then names three humor writers (they could actually be characterized indirectly in this way; especially Adams, but in this context I think it's part of the prank). In any event, with no sources cited, and my search for sources being fruitless, the burden of showing verifiability and notability is on the creator.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax. --DAJF (talk) 13:39, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with User:Fuhghettaboutit's reasoning and conclusions. I think both of these qualify as a speedy delete per WP:SNOWBALL. -- The Anome (talk) 13:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. and Fuhghettaboutit --JohnCD (talk) 13:47, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
