Dr. aemon malone

Hoax article. - choster 04:41, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

• I don't think we should be so quick to judge. There does seem to be several working external links with mentions of Dr. Malone and several edits. sluxer 04:48, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Uh, "Sluxer" doesn't seem to exist - the user who left this comment is one of the two that worked on the original article. The other user who worked on this article has an ISP which only differs by one digit. Please draw your own conclusions! CLW 05:43, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

  • There are three Google hits for "Aemon Malone". One is from his high school, one mentions his being a senior at the University of Virginia. Want his phone number? It's there. Zoe 04:56, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

If the "holy google" says so, than we definitely should give this up.

The above comment was left by the "other" user who had worked on the "Dr. aemon malone" article (see my comments above)... CLW 05:45, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Of course, Google isn't the final authority on all matters, but if "Dr" Malone really is notable, you'd expect more than two hits. Similarly, if "College: The Scenic Route" truly had brought him "widespread fame", you'd expect some hits. The "achievements" are mostly nonsense, so nothing to suggest notable. The inclusion of "rumours of [his] sexual orientation" reeks of a hoax/prank entry. CLW 05:38, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
  • If you check the history and read his "Banneker Elementary" (yet to be added to Wikisource) you would find there is some basis for this comment relating to his sexual endeavours.
  • I do wonder why an IP from New Zealand is writing this nonsense about some University of Virginia senior. Although now that it's fall, he's probably graduated, unless he's spending all of his time writing encyclopedia hoaxes. Zoe 19:14, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as not notable as per WP:Bio, possible hoax. Capitalistroadster 06:15, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Unverifiable. --Apyule 07:12, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: Sophomoric prank. You'd figure, with all his fame and accomplishments, the doctor would have gotten a shift key, too. Unverifiable because childishness. Geogre 13:10, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non notable hoax. Jobe6 File:Peru flag large.png 13:18, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
