[edit] Brooks Powell

I know the author of this article. He told me he falsified it for fun and to prove wikipedia was inaccurate. If you do a little research, you will find it impossible to connect the name "Brooks Powell" to the Tennessee 35th. Jickler 23:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as probable hoax. Can't find any references for this supposed person Bwithh 00:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:RS. A google search of his name and the battle he was in brings up nothing reliable, though it does bring up some information about him, so it may not be a complete hoax. --Daniel Olsen 00:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

See the Donovan afd for an article which should be very easy to verify but gets zero hits. Bwithh 00:36, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as 1. NN, 2. unsourced. ~ trialsanderrors 00:43, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom & above. Tell Princetonhistorian I printed a booklet and stealthily placed in in my local library, to prove my local library is inaccurate. --Dhartung | Talk 01:27, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
