Dr. Paul Bosworth
This sounds like nonsense. No google hits for this name — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brim (talk • contribs) 00:08, 3 November 2005


 * Delete My guess is it's a hoax. No mention in the Battle of Trafalgar article, and as the nom said, no google hits. Seems quite well written, and possibly real, but I'm guessing it's a hoax. -User:Mys e kuritynowiki> additions | e-mail]]04:33, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Delete seems to be a haox - lechery wasn't a a legal offence. Dl yo ns 493  Ta lk   07:05, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Probable hoax..  Dak ota  07:39, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

All good he does get a mention in Dennis Cook's extensive biography of Nelson, the link is probably ancient but here it goes anyway [www.tenegenius.edu.uk/history/cook/bosp1.html]
 * Seems ok.Probably not a hoax, Nelson had many advisors who have escaped official records. Well written though. User talk:deathrow_bozo (preceding unsigned comment by )  He has also edited other user's comments to disrupt formatting. - Dalbury 17:31, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Sadly, one of the tenets of Wikipedia is verifiability. People who have "escaped official records" tend to be quite difficult to verify, so we tend not to include articles on them.  The absence of any sources in this article make it impossible to determine whether the information is true or not, so unless someone provides sources, we will be forced to assume it's made up and delete it. &mdash; Haeleth Talk
 * Delete if no evidence produced to show he actually existed. Reeks of hoax. As an orphan, he went to Nova Scotia at the age of 18 to discover the Northwest Passage, was a palm reader, phrenologist, opium addict and "notorious" gangster, was imprisoned in the Tower, Trafalgar brought him "success and fame" -- such a colourful character would hardly have disappeared without trace.

 * Delete, looks like a hoax. feydey 12:18, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. - Dalbury 17:31, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * exaggerated Informative article, if not slightly over the top. The author should be alerted to tone down the exaggeration of the article but it is true that Nelson had many different forgotten and disgraced comrades who fell between the cracks after the war — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.142.95 (talk • contribs) 2005-11-03 18:27:33 (UTC)  (User has no edits not related to this article or its deletion; user has also vandalised this page by blanking it - &mdash; Haeleth Talk )
 * Delete as non-verifiable. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 18:36, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of "edu.uk", and Google has never heard of "tenegenius". Where's that link from, please? And what's the title of the biography? Flapdragon 15:29, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Leave this needs a lot of cleaning up, probably a newbie. Give him a chance as this article has real potential, considering the thousands that fought in the time of Nelson, Wikipedia needs more articles with a deep discourse regarding his peers. Major cleanup of format and language needed. 19:38, 4 November 2005 (UTC) (preceding unsigned comment by 217.155.197.19 (talk &bull; contribs) ) This is user's second edit. the first edit was vandalism on Curtain. - Dalbury 19:48, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unverifiable, probable hoax, unsourced. MCB 08:45, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
