Zero Google or Google books hits for name, or his "famous quote", that aren't this wikipedia article. This is a hoax as far as I can discern. SGGH speak! 09:06, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per SGGH. That's why I marked it with the hoax template. • Freechild   'sup?   10:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax. I've tried searching under various alternative spellings. Claim re 110th Medical Battalion is dubious, as it wasn't formed until 1 Dec 1917 and at the time was known as the 110th Sanitary Train, which is a title that might not have been the best start for someone looking for a political career... :) Debate (talk) 10:16, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax, but reluctantly, as it made me laugh out loud.--Berig (talk) 13:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax. The article describes the subject as a politician but doesn't mention any political office he is supposed to have run for or been elected to. The article may possibly be an attempt to smear either the Democratic or Republican Party, or both, with charges of racism. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:56, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Hoax or, more probably, attempt to harass someone by the same name. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Due to this being a tribute to my grandfather Clint McGeady. He had a failed political run for governor, he didn't even make it out of the democratic nomination. This is not a smear, or jibe at a party, but instead a way that people may be able to see the great man that was my grandfather. --Footyfan78 (talk) 23:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I'd love to see any sources you can add to the article to support his existence (see WP:V) since he sounds fascinating. Debate (talk) 04:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Very unconvincing hoax. Only one Google result. —  Wen li  (reply here) 05:47, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hoax. KleenupKrew (talk) 11:02, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as I also could not find any reliable sources to support this article. Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 20:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
