[edit] Jean-Pierre Deveraux

Probably hoax article. Full explanation on the article's talk page (Talk:Jean-Pierre Deveraux). In the last 20 minutes the editor, an (his?) IP, and another account have been playing games with the article, removing the cleanup tags I've added, blanking it, then restoring the content, and blanking again once I re-add the tags. Giving it the full AfD to settle the matter. No evidence to back any claims made in the article. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 03:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as unverifiable at best. The cited sources do not support the text of the article. The person is described as a lawyer living in California, yet nobody by this name is admitted to the State Bar of California (search here). And the diacritical marks shown on the person's full name don't appear to be consistent with French orthography. --Metropolitan90 04:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Article's creator (Knowitallexclusive - talk - contribs) also tried to add the same name to the List of billionaires (2004) page twice [1] [2]. The list of billionaires page uses Forbes as a source for on which Jean-Pierre Deveraux does not exist. User also tried to add the article The Deveraux Family which was speedy deleted. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 04:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, per above, likely hoax. The spelling of the name Deveraǚx given in the article, with its unusual diacritical, would be unconventional in French. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and give appropriate vandalism warnings. Cynical 21:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not only a hoax, but a rather dull and incredibly badly spelled one. Robertissimo 02:30, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
