 * Delete I agree, there is no way to differentiate this from a real article or hoax. The subject could have historical notability, but the article has been around for years and should be sourced by now.  If an enthusiastic editor wants to take over and source it, I'd probably change my position.  I'd be okay with draft or userfy if someone wants to work on it for later.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:11, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Neutral: Was a real person. Alternatively named Edward H. Mosley. Not too many sources from newspapers.com, but the creating editor had to have gotten this information from somewhere, implying additional sources may exist. Curbon7 (talk) 03:44, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment -- Perhaps he was indeed a real person, but he sounds like a shopkeeper. Is such a person notable?  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:04, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Completely unsourced, despite being years old, and fails WP:V. Possible hoax, I agree. No Great Shaker (talk) 19:33, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
