[edit] Adam Greves

Was speedily deleted. Now recreated with references, most of which do not mention the subject. The one that does tells us that the subject played Jason in a UCL student theatre production of Medea, perhaps something short of meeting the standards of WP:BIO. I'm not sure that this isn't a joke, or perhaps even an attack page, but it doesn't seem to be an encyclopedia article. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment I added this discussion to Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Academics and educators.I am not sure if it serious or a hoax, or if it should be deleted, although I did add an orphaned image and cats as I found it lacking. R:128.40.76.3 15:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Article reads like a joke. Notability is not established either. --Crusio 16:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. Non-notable, references do not work. Salt to prevent recreation.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • delete hoax, no such person seem to exist at UCL. The contributions of UCL IPs 144.82.106.65, & 144.82.106.58's to be scrubbed from First Alcibiades & Psychogeography (Claude Lévi-Strauss? and maybe more). I suspect that a WP:RCU for User:Mark1mark2 wouldn't show specific shared ips with the UCL sockpuppets Curious Gregor/User:A.J.1.5.2., User:R:128.40.76.3, etc, but...

    • How does R:128.40.76.3 (who says "I am not sure if it serious or a hoax") make these contributions to the article (adding e.g. the category "LGBT people from England") without being an active perpetrator of the hoax? I see nothing previously existing in the article to support such categorization. Pete.Hurd 17:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Jesus College is in Cambridge, not London. The website of the Department of Geography at Jesus College does not mention a chair of "Contemporary Geography", which does not really sound like a real scientific field anyway.--Crusio 18:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. Hoax. Can find no evidence that this person (as described in the article) exists; even the citations in the article don't name him aside from one namecheck for a part in a student production. The style of the article, particularly the sections on "Early life" and "Academic career", is particularly hoax-like which when added to the factual inaccuracies detailed above make a pretty compelling case. • nancy • 18:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as a hoax of some sort. If the refs don't discuss him, they're pointless - and so is teh whole article. Tony Fox (arf!) 19:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - an absurd bit of trolling. I also agree with Pete.Hurd; someone run the WP:RCU for User:Mark1mark2 vs R:128.40.76.3 and his gang of sockpuppets. --Jack Merridew 13:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
    I don't think the WP:RCU will be fruitful, I think that they will not be sharing IPs. R:128.40.76.3 has been associated with 128.40.76.3 (which is UCL), while Mark1mark2's edits are associated with other edits from 144.82.106.65 & 144.82.106.58 (which is also UCL, but most likely different physical locations). MadKemist/CurousGregor/R:128.40.76.3/etc. has been through two bouts of sock puppet trimming, and is presumably wise enough to game the system more intelligently than that. I think the fact that R:128.40.76.3 added novel material to the article is strong enough evidence that it's a WP:DUCK. (See AN/I archives here for summary of earlier R:128.40.76.3 and related sock behaviour). Pete.Hurd 18:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
