[edit] Genevian
- Delete : hoax - I nominated this article at the request of Uwe who gave the following reason : "I strongly believe that this article is either utter nonsense or utterly irrelevant. Contrary to the claim in the article, the proper and sole authority on the Geneva Convention is the International Committee of the Red Cross. Google does not know anything about "King Jacque de’Geneveeve" or the "world-renowned mathematical historian" Fredrick Lausberg, and the mathematical twist in the "Origins" paragraph looks like a weird conspiracy theory. Finally, to the best of my knowledge Geneva was not annexed by Switzerland. Also, the rest of the article looks highly suspicious as well. The books listed under "References" are either general publications about Geneva or the Geneva Conventions, or they seem to be non-existent like "Strategy of the Week and a Half War". The ISBN given for that title belongs to the book "Strategy of the Seven Weeks War: 1866". So, the article is either totally bogus or the product of a very very twisted mind (or both). My question is: can you propose it for deletion? I've never done it before in the English Wikipedia, and the process seems to be more complicated than in the German Wikipedia. --Uwe ". I concur with his reasoning. JoJan 08:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
