[edit] Emily Evans

Can't tell if this is actually an article or stream of concious poetry. Lots of google hits and maybe a fictional character?? I sent the contributor a message... —Gaff ^ταλκ 03:11, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, hoax. "I'll outlive all you punks" gets 0 results on Google, "Bono" "Emily Evans" gets nothing relevant. StarryEyes 03:13, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Hoax. If this were real, Emily Evans and The Edge would have at least a Google hit on page one. MoMA's website mentions nothing about an Emily Evans, surely if they were currently featuring her work, it would at least be in a search of their site.--CastAStone 03:25, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• But, if it's stream of consciousness poetry, wouldn't it be awfully fascist to delete it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.218.223 (talk • contribs)
  • No, not really. This is an encyclopedia, not a literary review. — Haeleth Talk

• Delete; hoax/joke, unencyclopedic nonsense. MCB 22:54, 26 October 2005 (UTC

who cares: If Emily Evans claims all this stuff about herself then who are we to stop her? I'm sure lots of women have been with the Edge and don't show on Google searches - define noteriety. Who the hell cares who Emily Evans is anyway?

I am a family member, and Nicolla Tesla was my great grandfather. The fact that this person is proclaiming that she invented the Tesla coil is propostorous. I am deeply hurt considering that my grandfather spent his years having his co-scientist stealing his ideas from him, makes me very angry indeed. I want to find this Emily Evans and tell her that she is a liar, and will spend an eternity in burning hell crying for her deeds, and no pharmacology will be there to help dry those tears. I tell you people she lies through her teeth. Despite her vulgar lies I truly liked "It reeks of cat piss in this van." it reminds me when I go apple picking with my family, and my late grandfather would piss in the back seat.

DO NOT DELETE-I can't believe no one has heard of emily evans. Need a pop culture brush up much? Only one of the most influential artists of the last five centuries! Get real wikipedia! [edit] delete

If Derrida was her father and Plath was her mother (making the rash conclusion she is real) couldn't she have made up a more creative name than Evans? Not only is all of this ludicris but it stinks of literary canniballism. In fact, some of those ideas are mine. Dang.

It's about freaking time someone objected to the whole tesla coil lie. Thank you angry serb. Everyone's like, as if she had sex with the Edge. No one's like Wasn't Nicolla Tesla the inventor of the Tesla coil? Hence the name? Gawd. you'd think encyclopedia people would know a little better. And besides. How is sourcing with the net a form of validation? IT'S ALL LIES. And we're all damned without embellishment.
