Do not delete, though it seems unrealistic this is actually true though some of the dates are a little out. It is believed in some circles that Prof Melson may have been the inspiration behind a number of well known films involving marine biologists and their relationships with the animals they studied.

• Delete, unless 159.92.110.238 can cite sources for why this is a real entry. And quickly. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 23:34, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: How very interesting. User:159.92.110.238 vandalized my user page, and it seems to be related to this; see [1]. --Sparky Lurkdragon 23:52, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - I created this page, and it is based on the factual character Professor Craig B. L. Melson, although someone seems to have vandalised it in their own personal joke about someone. Presumably Melson did get the inspiration for the naming of his subject matter from the game Ecco the Dolphin, but someone seems to have edited the page into a spoof of the game after finding the mention of the name Ecco. I will do what I can to return it to its correct state. (preceding unsigned comment by 128.86.149.202 (talk • contribs) ) - Dalbury 17:26, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Sorry, my friend, we can see what the article originally contained, as well as every edit and who made the edit. - Dalbury 17:26, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Great, thanks Dalbury, I kenw someone would understand.
    • Comment I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I was commenting that we can see that the article had NOT been vandalized, that it basically had not changed from creation until you added the comment about Melson being inspired by the game. - Dalbury 00:33, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: 128.86.149.202, removing anyone else's comments from any Wikipedia talk page is very bad form. I've manually reverted the removal of my comment and Redvers' vote. --Sparky Lurkdragon 00:04, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax, pending verification. Klonimus 23:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
