[edit] Walle Iceberg

I think this is a spoof -- "Walle Iceberg" gets zero hits on yahoo or google. I did not speedy it, because it's so long -- it seems like a lot of trouble to go to just as a gag. Brandon39 11:31, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Perhaps "test" would be the kindest term. The man in the pic was clearly not born in 1878, whoever he is, and if so would not still be alive as claimed. The text seems to come from Thomas Jefferson's autobiography rather than the clearly spoof "Sailing and Food Testing Magazine". Some people have a strange sense of humour.

The image name "Pspspsps.GIF" is further evidence of spoofness if any were needed. I've added the requisite "AfD" tag to Walle Iceberg page. Flapdragon 12:36, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Thomas Jefferson unheard of or entirely fictional?? ;-) Flapdragon 16:28, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete junk --Rogerd 19:13, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete While much of the text appears to be a legitimate biography, it has clearly been misappropriated by the author of this article. If the author can demonstrate otherwise, I will change my vote, but I don't plan on having to hold my breath. Denni☯ 00:55, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, the author would have a hard time claiming that Thomas Jefferson's real name was Iceberg and he was born in 1878, wouldn't s/he? I think your vote is safe. Flapdragon 01:59, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • This is a long, hilarious hoax. BJAODNify. --Jacquelyn Marie 23:11, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
