[edit] Todd Speakman
Nominated for deletion because this is a hoax biographical article -- Mitico (talk) 18:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well maybe not a hoax for sure, but definately NN & unsourced. Mitico (talk) 18:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - Article does not have reliable sources and fails verifiability. The claim to notability is that he is a professional indoors lawn bowler with a second place finish in the 2006 World Championships in the Singles. I know next to nothing about lawn bowling. In my googling, as far as I can tell, this page appears to represent the actual draw from 2006. There is no Todd Speakman listed. I am unable to find any mentions of Todd Speakman anywhere that appear to be about the individual listed in the article. I may have erred in my research, but I am simply unable to find any other results. -- Whpq (talk) 22:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - googling "Todd Speakman" together with the word "lawn" gets exactly 7 google hits. Looks like a hoax article to me. Gatoclass (talk) 08:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
