 * Delete This page is appallingly disingenuous.TH1980 (talk) 02:09, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
 * delete A quick look at a few sources shows that the subject isn't mentioned; the Journal supposedly cited has no publiation information, and searching fails to turn it up. Pretty clearly a hoax. Mangoe (talk) 14:29, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources I checked did not support existence of this person. Hlevy2 (talk) 15:28, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - Per Lynn's thread at WPO, I am flagging as a hoax. Carrite (talk) 19:34, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of the sources in the article mention Roberts. Several of the unlinked "sources" look fake, see exhaustive source assessment below. A Google search for [//www.google.com/search?q= "Giles Hyatt Roberts"] only returns mirror sites. Obvious hoax. While not as long-lived as Milk Studios, it still qualifies for our hoax museum. Would closing admin move it to List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Giles Roberts, cf. the instructions given at WP:HOAXLIST? — Sam Sailor 01:22, 20 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete sources do not support the claims made in this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:04, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Among many, many other issues, the names "Hobart Binsley" and "Rolf Knittsen" (two of Roberts' supposed colleagues on the expedition) have zero Google hits outside this article - virtually unthinkable if this expedition had existed. Calamondin12 (talk) 13:11, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
