[edit] Stephen Thorpe
Hoax article about non-existent physicist. I can find no independent evidence online for any of the supposed research articles by this physicist. Page creator has removed hoax tag multiple times without attempting to substantiate claims or providing reliable sourcing. Scog (talk) 13:04, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as an almost certain hoax. At the very least there are no reliable sources to verify notability. It is the authors responsibility to add those sources and especially as there are no obvious sources to support his claims. The article was full of potential BLP concerns which I removed. -JodyB talk 13:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
