[edit] William Pleasant
Unverifiable biography. I can't find any sources for his accomplishments (specifically his knighting and his Puffin award). Metros232 15:39, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Article was created by its subject (a violation of conflict of interest). Note article creator name "lumpenthunder" and this Google search: [1]. Creating an article about yourself is bad enough without adding phrases like "among the United States' most provocative journalists and playwrights". I'll go along with provocative, as I'm definitely feeling provoked righted now. - Richfife 17:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- p.s. Nubia hasn't existed as a country for hundreds of years and Sudan doesn't have a king, so the knighthood seems really unlikely. - Richfife 17:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete The New York Liberator newspaper he supposedly writes for has all of 3 google hits. I guess its easy to get lost in a media market like NYC. Montco 17:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete hoax/vanity. Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
