[edit] James Ballance

I think this is all true I remember having a history lesson on it. The writer is obviously an amateur or just young and has strayed away from some of the basic facts, making it sound like nonsense. Clearly it should be refined. - Mailer Diablo 17:57, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 03:37, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The article is so opaque I couldn't tell whether it was just very bad writing or a hoax, until I got to this bit of patent nonsense: "james was assasinated in 1954...after embarking on a...mission to kill the king of china." Jonathunder 05:18, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)
• Delete: Useless. Asriel86 05:19, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nonsense. Megan1967 11:12, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unencyclopedic hoax. Arguably a CSD as patent nonsense. Barno 15:06, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy deletion, patent nonsense. -- Karada 15:53, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Also Howard Bettany. I can't believe this was tagged for cleanup and "vandalism" was reverted. DDerby 08:41, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
