[edit] Ruth Lynne

Possible hoax. I've never heard of her, and it appears that Google hasn't either, if you restrict the search to pages from New Zealand.-gadfium 08:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Almost certainly a hoax, and potential attack page as well. When I get to work tomorrow I'll check the NZ newspaper archives to see if there's any worth to this article. Ziggurat 09:34, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Looks like a hoax. No references found on Google. --Lomedae 10:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment - I'm willing to hold off on a final nom until after Ziggurat checks back. I can say that Lynne isn't listed on the credits for the 1978 NZ version of Rocky Horror Picture Show. I also note that a search for "rocky horror picture show" "new zealand" "ruth lynne" turns up only three hits, this article and two mirrors. Tychocat 10:10, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Follow up turns out I can do a database search from home: according to the NZ superindex (New Zealand newspapers, magazines, etc. dating back about as far as you can go) and Newztext plus (newspapers, magazines, abstracts, etc.) this is bunkum. The only mention is of a Ruth Lynne Mason who graduated from Massey's college of business in 1999. Ziggurat 10:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom and Ziggurat's research. --BrownHairedGirl 11:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Ziggurat et al. Tychocat 12:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Ziggurat's excellent research.--Isotope23 13:07, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Given that this article disparages other people (Winston Peters, for example) should it be speedied as an attack page? Ziggurat 21:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete possible speedy as attack page. Certainly unverifiable as shown by research of Ziggurat, Gadfium and others. Capitalistroadster 22:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of New Zealand-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 02:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Ziggurat. -- Avenue 03:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
