[edit] Rory Emerald

Rory Emerald (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable and possible hoax article about a hoaxer (ironically). Googling "Rory Emerald" gives 25,400 hits, impressive, sounds like he is notable... but when you look at the results they virtually all consist of (fake) questions posted on Yahoo! Answers, possibly by "Rory Emerald" himself just to increase his Google count. Also, some contributing editors to this article have been Rory emerald, RoryEmerald2002, and RORYwho?.

  • Delete the trickster. Questions posed about Rory Emerald and possible relationships with notable people such as Jodie Foster are an amusing feature of Yahoo! Answers but there are no reliable sources for an article on him. Capitalistroadster 01:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Both "sources" are the same fluffy human interest article on two different websites. Article subject doesn't seem notable, although I guess he wishes he were. Carolfrog 02:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete silly hoax about a hoaxter. The "ky jelly and hollowed-out watermelons" was a dead giveaway. Wavy G 03:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Nada, hoax balloon to be deflated. PigmanTalk to me 06:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
