probable hoax; no source found for this person -- MightyWarrior 10:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete it is a hoax. The "Sir" part gave it away as that makes it quite easy to check. Remember that this is a notable hoax though. It survived for over a year! MartinDK 11:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

- Delete as non-notable, but not necessarily a hoax. The hockey bit is just silly vandalism. Unless someone can verify and expand upon his military service and/or knighthood, the subject of the article doesn't meet WP:BIO Deli nk 16:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Very likely a hoax; people weren't gonged for their work in human rights in the 18th century. The concept barely existed! Nothing on Google Scholar and only Wikipedia mirrors, etc. on Ghits. He wasn't knighted by George II or III according to my hard copy references; the article asserts that he was only alive during those sovereign's reigns. Also, unlikely an 18th century man would have been hounded to death for homosexuality -- even Rochester wasn't. --Charlene 20:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete This appears to be a hoax. --Oakshade 00:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
