David C Harrison
Seems to be running joke about David Harrison and wenches by SinghaDog & 64.83.231.234 MacRusgail 16:28, 2 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I've heard about this too... I don't see why it needs to be deleted. (New user's first edit)


 * Keep:I just posted this because I believe the word should get out about Dr. David Harrison. The man is a genius and through this page I hope to express his research which, IMO, is on par with Einstein. SinghaDog


 * Delete &mdash; pretty nearly speediable, in fact. Nonsense vanity article. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 17:59, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not speediable under A7, as the article does assert significance. Given the absence of even one relevant Google result, however, the significance is false, and hence my vote. –ArmadniGeneral (talk • contribs) 20:49, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as hoax/vanity/attack. No verifiable claim to notability.  The name is too common to figure out if this is supposed to refer to some actual David C. Harrison, but the details are certainly bogus. Ilmari Karonen 21:05, 2 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment - note continuing bizarre edits by same person. Same poster also started an article on "David Harrison" which was deleted and went on about "wenches" too. --MacRusgail 12:46, 3 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep: here is verification for the water papers David C Harrison Water Papers as for the university, alhtough i have never hear of it, Wenchumi is an Ojibwe word meaning "place of hope." Although some of this appears to be somewhat shakey, on the whole i believe it is valid.

 * The person in the papers seems fairly clearly not to be the person about whom the article speaks (not, for example, "the father of Canadian physics"), though I've no doubt that these papers were part of the jigsaw-creation of the article. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 18:05, 3 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep: i am the David C Harrison referred to in the article. While i don't think i am the "father of canadian physics" i have been called that jokingly by my students. Another one of the common jokes on campus is that i am the "Wench" of Canada, referring to my inability to pronounce Wenchumi. Thank you --DavidCHarrison 19:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC) University of Wenchumi (New user's first edit)


 * Delete. Hoax article; the link given is to a person who is not a physicist and has no relation to Canada. There is no such thing as the "Northern Territories" in Canada, nor is there a town of "Wenchumi" in the Northwest Territories, let alone a university there. The page author and "DavidCHarrison"'s only edits are to this article. -- Corvus 01:03, 5 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete This article is an attempt to decive people --Cloveious 22:42, 9 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep- My name is Dr. John Dwyer, PhD. I am a colleague and admirer of Dr. Harrison. The work and knowledge he has contributed to our school is amazing. He deserves some notification. (Note: IP 64.83.234.164 again.)
