[edit] Ian Bailey

Originally tagged as a speedy, but not really a speedy candidate. Seems unverifiable, but might be notable if verifiable. No vote/Procedural listing. -- Ferkelparade π 09:34, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

• I cannot verify this, all I find is some modern-day Ian Bailey (a journalist from Manchester, UK). Even if it were true, I question the notability of the 19th century murderer described in our article. Delete. Lupo 10:12, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unverifiable OR. "Reports claim that in Ohio there is a haunted house in the city of Lakewood which is haunted by Bailey's violent ghost." Talk page: "The main point of this article is to tell of the paranormal events which supposedly occur in Bailey's house in Lakewood, Ohio." (several phrasings and google queries yield no pertinent results) Also includes unfounded speculation about the origin of the derogatory term "Irish confetti" --Anetode 10:23, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
