This article is unverifiable and a possible hoax (see related RFC). The only external citation provided that substantiates this person's existence is a passing reference in a boarding school review website ([1]). The name returns no hits on Google Scholar, Google News, Google Books, or Westlaw, and no relevant Google search hits aside from content that mirrors or references Wikipedia. In the absence of reliable sources to substantiate this article's contents, I recommend deletion as unverifiable and a probable hoax. Muchness (talk) 16:37, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. I can't say whether Weinberger actually exists. Even so, if no sources can be found for him besides a passing reference and a dead (possibly never created) directory in the OSCN, then this article should not exist. Too bad if he's real.

  • Delete - seems to be a hoax. —TreasuryTag talk contribs 17:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I've put the image on the page up for deletion as having false copyright info; see Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images/2008 March 6#Image:BRWeinberger1952.JPG. My attempts at verifying the story told in the article have also been unsuccessful, and I've found a variant which has some differences in the details. Mangoe (talk) 17:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - of the three "references" one is dead, one doesn't mention him, that just leaves the boarding school review site. Whether or not he's real, there are not enough sources to make him notable. JohnCD (talk) 21:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
