[edit] Captain sensible (superhero)

In a nutshell, this is unverifiable. Claims to be " a superhero" but doesn't say where we can read about him, or even what company publishes books concerning him. The context tag was removed (apparently by the author) without addressing this problem. While there are a lot of results for "Captain sensible" on Google, none clear up this article that I can tell. The problem becomes especially evident when you try to narrow it down [1] or find specific terms from the article. [2], [3]. The author (authors?) also seems to be a very prolific vandal: User talk:144.173.6.77, User_talk:144.173.6.76. --W.marsh 19:59, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Maybe involved hoax? --Syrthiss 20:22, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete probable hoax. Highly unlikely that anyone would create a superhero named "Captain Sensible", especially not in the UK where the real Captain Sensible was most popular. That would be like creating a comic book called "Spice Girls" and hoping nobody notices it's also the name of a band. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:34, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Thats kind of what I was thinking. --Syrthiss 21:40, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• I'll be damned if this is verifiable. Delete. Capitalistroadster 22:14, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• A group of university students has made up a nickname for another university student, and then written a Wikipedia article to document it. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. This article is unverifiable, as per Capitalistroadster. Delete. Uncle G 01:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
• Image gives source as allaboutjazz.com but no sign of this on the sight. Shoot, kill, destroy - SoM 13:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
