[edit] Adam Gray

It's a neologism in the UK about cheating. This was prodded as a possible hoax, but the prod tag was removed without explanation. There is a discussion on the talk page requesting references which hasn't been answered. I haven't been able to find anything on Google about this guy, or the book School Slang. I can't tell if it's true, but so far it looks unverifiable. NickelShoe 04:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Looks like a hoax. At best, protologism. -- Vary | Talk 04:30, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: I've never heard of it, and the concept has had many names. This particular reference is neither verifiable nor noteworthy. I reckon it's a piss-take targetting some poor kid called Adam Gray, but that is, of course, POV. --die Baumfabrik 04:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Apparent hoax, likely attack page against classmate, with an opportunity for a couple kids to get their names in an article. One of the kids mentioned is apparently the author. Fan1967 05:21, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete... made up in school one day, unverifiable, probably an attack page, neologism at best. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per the above. Royboycrashfan 06:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as neologism, hoax, attack. --Terence Ong 10:22, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy deleted since a Google for the "Adam Gray" +plagiarism scores 20 Googles, of which none appear to substantiate this article; this is about a living person and cannot be readily substantiated, so I am going to kill it as an attack page. I will also lock it since it was speedied two days ago also as an attack. Feel free to take to DRV if you find evidence to substantiate it. Just zis Guy you know? 13:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
