[edit] Branden Rooney

Page appears to be a hoax. Google searches for "branden rooney fencing"[1] and for "european cup fencing" [2] show no results along the lines of what the article describes; the subject does not appear to be a famous fencer, and his most prominent award does not appear to be a famous one. Further, the DAB page for European Cup makes no mention of fencing. It's in my book as a hoax. Luna Santin 03:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. I did similar searches (when it was first made) and nothing came up, most likely a hoax. Yanksox 03:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. You actually edit-conflicted me while I was trying to prod it! I did the same Google searches with the same results. Note that the username of the creator is very similar to the subject's name. Also, fencing makes no mention of a "European Cup." --Ginkgo100 ^{talk · contribs} 03:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Yup, completely unverifiable. Not a one source, let alone two; no results to assume good faith on. Teke 03:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Anonymous IP user added a source, but the source makes no mention of either a European Cup, or our friend Mr. Rooney. Luna Santin 04:06, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I proded it and added a {{citation needed}} tag because I did those same google searches, too. Looks like a hoax. -- Scientizzle 04:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
