[edit] 14 Barber Crescent

Improperly tagged as speedy. Smells hoaxy to me. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 16:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Tom Harrison ^Talk 16:24, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. --Terence Ong 16:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and tell 'Craig Pearce' not to bother publishing his dissertation here either. ::Supergolden:: 17:21, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. If Abraham Lincoln lived there, it might be notable. However, as there is no evidence that Lincoln ever visited Sheffield in the UK let alone lived there, it is unverifiable. The rest of the article is about a totally unnotable residence. Capitalistroadster 22:50, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Please don't Delete This page is a valuable addition to the wikipedia encyclopedia, and Craig Pearce's dissertation will be an elightening and fantastic work which deserves to be read by many. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.114.214 (talk • contribs)
• I tagged it as speedy, as it's a blatant hoax (as I stated in the reason for speedying), and putting it to AfD is just a waste of time. Speedy delete, do not feed the trolls. Proto||type 12:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Hoaxes do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion. In fact the speedy criteria specifically exclude hoaxes. From A1: Patent nonsense, i.e. no meaningful content, unsalvageably incoherent page. This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, badly translated material, implausible theories or hoaxes. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 12:32, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, seems to be a hoax. Not a speedy unless you can back up a claim of vandalism. Stifle 20:39, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
