[edit] Rido kowishima

This smells like a hoax, as the PRODder and the other, agreeing editor both suggest. But I find at [www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1724272/posts this] slightly off-the-wall thread from an unreliable source an actual mention of this person. That's the only thing that Google finds, however. Can someone think of a way of working out if this person did actually exist or not? And, if they did, if they need an article? -Splash - tk 22:26, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - a killer of "countless victims" would certainly have shown up in the news at some point. A series of news searches on Google and LexisNexis turned up absolutely nothing. Smells like a hoax to me. Zetawoof^(ζ) 06:09, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment The name sounds vaguely Japanese, but if so, is badly misspelled. If we knew the right spelling, Google might turn up some factual information. But I suspect it's just a hoax. The alleged victim Quin Shimza (Japan) is likewise not a valid Japanese name. Fg2 07:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
