Albert schloshering
Said to be a notable chemist and philosopher, but there's not a hint of what the notability was. Meanwhile, Google has no hits for either "schloshering" (which looks intrinsically unlikely) or "schloschering", regardless of "albert", "chemistry", or anything else. Spelling mistake? Non-notable? Fiction? I don't claim to know. But if, say, a tremendously notable Chlochering were to have existed, somebody else could write him up later -- Hoary 03:06, 2005 Jan 27 (UTC)
 * Delete. Also no evidence of an "International Chemist Association," or any chemistry association that awards an "Order of the Leaf" award. LizardWizard 03:09, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Cannot find evidence for this person's existence. I searched for an Order of the Leaf at IUPAC's website to no avail. JoaoRicardo 06:22, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like a hoax: no hit with non selective keys: 'albert shloshing', nor 'albert schloshering'. Sounds strange for a well known persona. Gtabary 15:51, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete possible hoax. Order of the Leaf sounds awfully suspicious to me, but then again, so would Order of the Bath. --Deathphoenix 06:02, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

A herring is a ruse in german - red herring perhaps in english?
