[edit] Theodore Macus

Theodore Macus (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Hoax. Zero sources. "Well known" yet zero google hits on name. Claims to have won a Young Tall Poppy award but YTP's list of award winners does not list him[1]. Claims to have won an Australian Academy of Science award but AAoS's list of award winners does not list him[2]. Seems like a whole drawerful of socks whose contributions systematically have the problem of zero sources and zero google presence... Weregerbil 11:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete From the edit history this looks to me like just another part of the sock puppetry already surrounding Footbasket and Hops Ball (see above). Even if it's not, it's still an unverified probable hoax per nom. -- IslaySolomon | talk 11:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment All of these hoaxes share one thing... the author seems to be able to write articles without sources after which he/she explains on the talk that the article must not be deleted yet because sources are still being looked for. Also, he/she consistently tries to convince us that Google can't be used. Apparently the author posses some kind of magical ability to write articles without knowing the sources. Well, where did the information come from then? If these hoaxes can't be speedy deleted I say slap them all together in one AfD. MartinDK 12:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Blatant hoax. Even if it was true it would fail for being an autobiography. Try harder or much better... stop trying to fool us. MartinDK 11:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

  • [edit conflict]Delete per nom. There's no proof whatsoever that he exists. Peculiarly, the body he's claimed to be involved with may exist - Google throws up an "Australian Institute for Policy and Science", some of the pages of which are headed "Australian Institute for Political Science" on the search results.

  • Speedy Delete and Ban the creator(s) for awhile: I don't see why we're even discussing all of these hoaxes by the same people/person. They've made a bunch of these hoaxes, all done in the same way. It's clear. An admin needs to close all these and be done with it. --The Way 07:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete and salt this article and other ones made by this vandal and his sockpuppets, per WP:VANDAL, WP:CSD G3 and G5, WP:SNOW. They all should've been turned into a smoking craters the first day on AfD. Tubezone 01:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
