Dr. T. Rodriguez (economist)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Either fails to meet WP:PROF or possible hoax. No sign of a T Rodriguez or the papers mentioned in Google Scholar. Authors edit prior to this was to state ''I create hoaxes. I believe that hoaxes give us all something to laugh at.'' on their user page - which is part of reason I'm assuming hoax and not non-notable. 'Troy Rodriguez's' has been a popular name lately too see Articles for deletion/Troy Rodriguez (actor, rapper) Hunting dog (talk) 06:44, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete as blatant hoax, and ban user. I am not the creator of the Troy Rodriguez set of hoaxes- the joke is on everybody else. I have been following the Troy pages ever since the Route 666 garbage was created, so I just couldn't resist. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and the previous hoaxes, my research here is complete. It should be clear that this page is written in a totally different style to the other Troy pages (i.e. not incoherent)- it seems nobody here has picked this up. I'm sorry guys, but the real Troy is still out there.Mrclickettycane(Mrclickettycane) 10:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
