Christopher D. Thieme
Being chairman of a private equity group with international offices in five cities at the age of 25 is a remarkable achievement. Unfortunately, Google search on "Newcastle Group" + "Thieme" turns up no hits other than Wikipedia clones. Either Christopher D. Thieme is not chairman of Newcastle Group, or Newcastle Group itself is not very notable... take your pick. -- Curps 20:00, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Christopher D. Thieme is the Chairman, and Newcastle Group is quite real, but being a private, closely held company, some information about it is not well known. It manages assets of 13 billion US dollars.
 * There are plenty of private closely-held companies that are fairly secretive about their affairs. However, it ought to be possible to verify basic information.  You claim that this company exists, that Christopher D. Thieme is the chairman, and that there are $13 billion is assets... Google cannot verify any of the above three statements. -- Curps 20:56, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as unverifiable. Rossami (talk) 23:14, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable. There appears to be a "Newcastle Group" out there, but it doesn't appear to be the one mentioned in this article. --Carnildo 23:18, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The micronation stuff proves it's a hoax.  RickK 23:45, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I can state categorically that this individual is a real person, however the rest is unverifiable.--Gene_poole 04:06, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Can you tell us what your source is? That may help determine verifiability and notability. Jonathunder 05:09, 2005 Apr 21 (UTC)
 * Nobody is trying to claim that this kid doesn't exist just that he isn't what he claims to be. RickK 21:36, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks like User:ExplorerCDT created the Newcastle Group article. I left a message on his talk page. Jonathunder 22:20, 2005 Apr 21 (UTC)


 * Delete, notability not established. Megan1967 04:58, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete it gives me great pleasure to vote to delete regarding an article about me.  I didn't expect to deserve a wiki article until sometime well into next year.  Now if I can only find that pesky stalker (4.188.213.145) under that Chicago ISP who keeps trying to follow me around Wikipedia (and previously vandalized my user page), I'll ring his neck...especially for writing a crappy article.  I don't even know what a micronation is, but I feel free to ask about market caps. &mdash;ExplorerCDT 22:06, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
