Notability asserted by claims of newspaper appearances however can find no supporting data on the internet to support this. Possibly a hoax article with the image of being legitimate by attempting to assert notability. –– Lid(Talk) 10:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as a hoax. No sources provided and an internet search reveals no relevant hits (reliable or otherwise). This of itself proves false the claim that this alleged person appears "regularly in major Australian newspapers". Face is never captured in photographs but he regularly appears in social pages - what, with a bag over his head? Upcoming film and music careers would fail WP:CRYSTAL and WP:MUSIC if they were taken seriously enough for anyone to be bothered. Natacha Peyre was not in Brisbane in 2006, did not release an album called "Blonde on Blondes" and has never "made headlines" with the alleged subject of this article. The alleged Mr Hill is also not "famous for allegedly coining the term Bris-Vegas", as the term was coined in around 1992 when Mr Hill would have been ten, and is attributed to a variety of media outlets commenting on tourism promotions being run by Brisbane City Council. In short, an article of pure nonsense from beginning to end. Euryalus 02:28, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
