[edit] Herman f. schaedel

• Delete: Never heard of this "Inventor and developer of American light industry," and neither has Google. Unable to verify and suspect hoax or erroneous information. — C Maylett 05:59, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete; I agree and also could not verify. I'd support speedy deletion because it really has little or no context; Edison invented the electric lighting industry, if anyone, so what it's supposed to mean regarding Schaedel (oh, I'm sorry, "schaedel") is a mystery. Anyone second speedy deletion? This is going to be a waste of time. Postdlf 06:02, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I oppose speedy deletion as I can't see any WP:CSD that it falls under. It's not patent nonsense, it's not empty, it asserts notability. Hoaxes, sad as it is, have to go through AfD. I empathise completely with your sentiment, however. --Blackcap | talk 07:09, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There is no evidence for these claims and a Google search shows absolutely no results for this gentleman see [1]. Nor did a Galenet biographical search. This is not verifiable. However, the claim to be an inventor and developer of the light industry is an assertion of notability, however spurious the claim is so it shouldn't be speedied.

• Delete per above. --Blackcap | talk 07:09, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I tried to tone down the language a bit with the unverifiable assertions. No vote, but current content looks speediable to me. Friday (talk) 14:33, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Online search of Gale's "Biography Resource Center," said to contain "415,000 biographies on more than 325,000 people from over 880 volumes of more than 135 respected Gale Group sources" including Marquis Who's Who--which in turn includes about twenty of the Who's Who publications, including Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Who's Who in Finance and Business, etc. on (Name contains Schaedel) returned the following results: Rece, Marguerite Anne Schaedel (American psychiatrist, 1934-); Schaedel, Richard P. (American writer, 1920-). Dpbsmith (talk) 17:17, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete NN, possible hoax and speedy candidate. No reference found on Google. Groeck 18:24, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
