[edit] Gypsy Dave

Non-notable, possible hoax as majority of Google hits for "Gypsy Dave" are a lyric in a song. User:Luigi30 (Ταλ&kappa) 22:36, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Hey man, I'm Gypsy Dave and I can prove I exist. Unsigned comment by 162.119.232.105.
    • I exist, too, but that doesn't mean I deserve an article.--Xcali 22:57, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy patent vanity. If you're "very important person in the history of rock and roll." you wouldn't need to prove you exist. Also, if that's the case, the link to your music wouldn't be needed. Stores would stock your CDs. Mgm|^(talk) 22:55, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Gypsy Dave AKA Edward Boggles doesn't believe in selling music.

5 Google hits for "Edward Boggles", none of which are a person. User:Luigi30 (Ταλ&kappa) 00:42, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  Ouch. I'd try to phrase attempts at humor in ways that are a little less prone to misunderstanding. I might have been a gypsy, you insensitive clod! You're worse than Hitler! JRM · Talk 23:51, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)

• Keep Gypsy Dave is featured in many interviews with the band Moroccan.

• Speedy Another anonymous edit by Gypsy Dave himself. Nuke this vanity page ASAP. Rlw (Talk) 00:07, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Disco Stu doesn't advertise! — Phil Welch 00:31, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this - and the image as well - see also the article on Edward boggles --Doc (?) 08:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy Say goodbye. Is it verifiable? Looks like it could be fiction or substance-induced fantasy. --WCFrancis 15:08, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Not speediable - it is not patent nonsense, a self-evident hoax or prank, or an article with little content. It must therefore pass VfD. However, it is worth noting that a Google search for "Gypsy Dave" "Lindsay Romig" nets de nada. Delete Denni☯ 02:18, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)

• • Feel free to delete it. I created this page and didn't realize how strict your rules are. FYI, nothing I stated was untrue, but I really don't mind if you delete it.
