[edit] Ryan John Walter

I seriously doubt the content of the article. It is unreferenced and one would assume that Google would turn up a slew of references for one of the 500 wealthiest people under 30. Can't find any trace of his purported association to Mika or Scooch, or his cameo for the Extras (the provided reference does not mention him). The creator of the article is Rw121 (talk · contribs) and that suggests conflict of interest problems. Moreover, this editor has recently created an attack page.

  • Delete, claims seem to lack reliable sources, no mention in the one citation. --Dhartung | Talk 16:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I can't find anything to support any of these claims, not even something to suggest that the Observer has listed the 500 wealthiest people under 30, let alone mentioned this individual. (500 seems an odd number, very large -- most of these things are "30 under 30", say.) I tried a number of different Google searches and found zero. Doesn't meet WP:Verifiability.

  • Delete. No WP:V... seems to be a vanity article. Arakunem 18:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete - seems bogus and the one reference isn't verifiable by the link supplied. Iamchrisryan 20:00, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, likely a hoax. NawlinWiki 21:47, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
