[edit] Mike brodlieb

Delete. Probable hoax. The article says he is a rock musician and a nuclear negotiator with Iran. I don’t think so. AllMusic never heard of him. Google search for brodlieb and iran turns up 40 hits, none of which seem to be this person. •DanMS 01:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. It’s a shame that a number of good Wikipedia editors have to waste their time on nonsense like this. This article is absurd on the face of it, yet there is a claim to notability, so we have to take this seriously and spend time going through the motions of checking out the subject’s credentials and voting on it. There must be a better way. •DanMS 01:55, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete possible speedy as silly vandalism. A Google search for "Mike Brodlieb" Iran comes up with no Google hits see [1]. Apart from that, he is the leadsinger of a band with no Allmusic article a MySpace page and no Wikipedia article so he doesn't meet WP:NMG either. Capitalistroadster 04:02, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as vandalism: Also note the Geogre's Law failure. Jokes this obvious are the equivalent of a dog lifting his leg on the wall, IMO, and we should welcome them no more than the wall does. Geogre 13:19, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nonsense, vanity and failing that per WP:NMG. The Usual Suspects (Capitalistroadster and Geogre) are, as ever, on the money. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 17:15, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete because the guy couldn't even take the time to capitalize the guy's last name. Croat Canuck 05:06, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
