[edit] Matt Lumley

Must be a vanity article. The high school exists but none of the rest of it is true. I can only imagine that the contributor did not expect to find other people from London here. Adam Bishop 16:07, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete this nonsense. Kevin Rector (talk) 16:53, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless verified -- and I haven't had any luck verifying it. --Carnildo 18:27, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep It is a useful page about a local politician, it is notable becasue of the controversy that was caused, it links to his cause, it's informational and useful and notable. -- Toonami 3:14, april 26 2005 (UTC)
    • But he's not a local politician, which is why I listed it here. Adam Bishop 19:58, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Note: "Toonami" is actually the anonymous user User:64.231.120.76 --Carnildo 20:06, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • PROOF HERE is the VERIFICATION. www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1995_11_28.pdf and http://www.mikechester.demon.co.uk/chime.txt MORE PROOF: http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/profeedback.php search for his name -- Toonami 3:24, april 26 2005 (UTC)
    • Proof of what? A list of carillons? Huh? I would think that some Canadians would know about a secondary school student who's a member of parliament and has ended poverty in London. Delete, nonsense. RickK 19:37, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
    • So, we have a byline in a student newspaper, a quote by a "Matt Lumley" claiming to be a government strategist on a random website, and a "St Matthew Lumley Ave" having a six-bell carillion. That's supposed to show what? --Carnildo 20:03, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • delete vanity/patent nonsense. The first "proof" is a student newsletter. The second is something about bells. The third is the one Google hit you got for the name that could possibly be the guy you're talking about if he exists. None of these things is relevant or proof of notability. Ben-w
  • Delete. Utter nonsense. — Trilobite (Talk) 20:12, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. If this person exists he's non-notable anyway. I strongly suspect he does not exist. Mackensen (talk) 20:13, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hoax. Unverifiable despite good efforts by others. References provided are not. Matt Lumley fails it. JRM · Talk 20:20, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)
  • Delete unverifiable. Claimed to be a Canadian MP yet this search turns up no results. Claimed that he was in a controversy with rival Beth Gavin but this search also turns up no results. SteveW | Talk 21:50, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Should be Speedy deleted as patent nonsense. A Canadian MP who is also at secondary school? Capitalistroadster 01:55, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
