[edit] Emily Nuchols
a senior environmental journalism major at Western Washington University, hardly notable: no independent sources. `'mikka 16:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
KeepNeutral, apparently she received a Montenegran presidential award. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 17:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)- Received award says who? Which award? I am surprized how can one vote without getting chance to check facts. Let me spell for other lazy voters here: "Emily Nuchols"+montenegro gives Big Fat Zero google hits. `'mikka 21:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- No need to get hostile now is there. If you would have checked the article's history you would have seen that I was the person who added most of the references AND noted that a reference for that award was still missing. So much for calling me a lazy editor, thank you very much. We differ in view on how to treat articles like this, so much is clear. I suggest we give the article at least a few days/weeks before outright deleting it. And for stuff like this, Google just might be the worst of ways to check if the statement is correct. --Cpt.

- Delete. Based on the article's history (see edits here and here) and a web search, I suspect much of the "notability" of this individual is a hoax. -- MarcoTolo 22:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- I am open to comments, but how exactly do you feel those edits support your idea that it is a hoax? I do not see that. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 23:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, none of the permutations of the award she received ("Hyde Bron(s/z)ing award", combinations of Montenegro/-gran president/-ial award, etc.) turn up any links. From the first diff: "Her beauty and charm is infectuous." Sounds like something a bored classmate would write. Finally, from the second diff, the addition of a completely unrelated link (which appears to be about an art exhibit) as a reference seems like an attempt to manipulate the system. Thus, in my opinion, a probable hoax. -- MarcoTolo 00:09, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining, your reasoning certainly makes sense. I already adjusted my vote. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 00:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

- Strong delete Almost completely OR, no attributions except a handful of self published articles that do not establish notability. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 23:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
