This is probably a hoax, no details at University of Exeter or Express and Echo websites for this "notable" person, Exeter is in Devon, not Cornwall, and as an unreferenced article could be construed as an attack page (speedy declined) Richhoncho (talk) 06:09, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Seems likely to be a hoax. There is no Mcdonald on the staff of the history department at the University of Exeter, Cornwall campus, see. Now the various BLP violating material has been removed from the article and it has been reduced to a couple of sentences. However, looking up its old version in the history log, and doing a bunch of google searches, I was not able to find anything to indicate that the person described in the initial version of the article even exists.
