Alan Hyman

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Firstly, I would like to state that this article covers a property lawyer, not the writer Alan Hyman, so as to avoid confusion. I believe that this article breaks WP:N. I have not been able to find any sources mentioning Alan Hyman, save for this article, and websites which replicate the information of the article. The two sources cited in the article do not mention Alan Hyman at all. I know that Google results do not conclusively prove a subject is non-notable, but for someone described on the article as a "key advisor to the Blair and Brown governments since 1999 and...considered responsible for the introduction of the Land Registration Act 2002", the lack of any reliable sources about him on the Internet, to me, suggests a hoax. Just to note, this article was deleted back in 2007 due to it not meeting notability guidelines, as evidenced by the history. Thank you for reading.

 * Delete, probably hoax. Not being listed on the staff list of the university he's supposed to work at is quite revealing. Google Scholar also seems not to have heard of him. Huon (talk) 14:58, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - as fraudulent, no independent sources, not on University staff, not mentioned in any references from Land Registration Act 2002. Cactus Writer 15:17, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as deliberate hoax. Neither of the sources cited mentions him - that's damning. JohnCD (talk) 10:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
