Goldman v. tyngsborough county sch. bd.

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This case describes a purported U.S. Supreme Court case from the current term. However, no such opinion is reported on the Supreme Court's list of the current term's opinions. Furthermore, there are several reasons to believe this is a hoax, albeit a creatively written one. There is no Tyngsborough County in the United States, and the school where this incident supposedly originated does not appear to exist. The earliest version of this article had the case in an unidentified state but being appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (which covers the western part of the U.S.) whereas the current version has the case originating in Massachusetts. Also, a since-removed portion of the original version had the Supreme Court resolving the case by promoting a student to acting principal and demoting the principal to the 7th grade. That version was submitted for proposed deletion, but the WP:PROD tag was removed. I recommend a delete. --Metropolitan90 06:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
