[edit] Adam Cochrane

Posted all in one shot by an anon editor who has not responded to a request for sources. Not one reference or source, no names of a single book or album despite claims of being a prolific artist, no links, no google hits. This looks like a hoax to me, but I dedided to put it here instead of speedy deleting it in case I am wrong. Gamaliel 18:51, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as silly vandalism under speedy category G3 or even A6 attack page as the article emphasises his drug use. 245 Google results for "Adam Cochrane" singer and none of the early ones validate this article see [1]. Not listed on Allmusic.com and not sources provided by author despite request. By the way, the article claims he was born in 1954 and started singing protest songs about the Vietnam War during the middle of it - he would have been 14 or 15.
