[edit] Bruce Jillguard

  • Delete: Somewhat related to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Star fox movie but this is an even clearer hoax with zero Google hits. Listing here in case someone happens to know that this is a misspelled name or something - but I couldn't find anything close to verification. —Wknight94 (talk) 18:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Tried some alternate spellings in google on the logic that it might be a mispelled Scandinavian name, but nope, nothing. Dina 18:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Delete if no response from author— First a caution. This author is another new contributor. So we need to diagnose the problem.
  1. Hoax? Maybe. Maybe not.
  2. Unfamiliarity with Wikipolicy? Almost assuredly.
  3. Writing style: There are signs that the author's first language may not be English. I do rather like the concept "born in Japan untill 1998"; his mother must have been relieved. But foreign authors deserve extra consideration in these reviews.
  4. How far might the name have strayed from the English version: In addition to the potential Nordic variations suggested by Dina, I tried Bruce Guiliard & Bruce Juilliard with no success.
Lacking any insight on notability, I requested the originator "join us" here. Hopefully we can figure out what this article should be titled and then we can determine notability. Williamborg (Bill) 18:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment I like your attitude Bill, and I agree about foreign authors, though my read is that it's more likely to be an 11 year old native-english-speaking boy. However, this user's edit history does seem mostly concerned with placing unsourced speculation about considered/rejected/possible casts for movies based on video games into existing articles. But let's see if he responds. Dina 19:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Excellent points. You've probably diagnosed it correctly. It's just my strong inclusionist bent has me wanting to find good in all nominated AfDs. But some are harder to love than others. :) Williamborg (Bill) 22:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
No, that's great - that's why I brought it here instead of simply deleting (it had been tagged for speedy). —Wknight94 (talk) 22:57, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I say hoax. Danny Lilithborne 20:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't think it is necessarily a hoax. I have tried to tidy up the article as much as I can, and have found the 1993 film which is referred to on imdb, but there are very few details there of the cast, and this guy's role in it. Other searches for "Bruce Jillguard", "Bruce Jilguard", ""Bruce Jilgard"", "Falco Lombardi" movie, have drawn a blank. So basically, we have a problem under WP:V. Unless he's been in an important role, which appears unlikely, it fails WP:BIO. Ohconfucius 03:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
