Henri Poutine
This appears to be a sneaky vandalism article. Most of the text is copied outright from Henri Chretien; the editor who started the article has this page as his only edit. Both Poutine and the award named after him only get hits in Google for pages based off of the Wikipedia database. Even an Amazon text search shows absolutely nothing for Henri Poutine. This man likely does not exist, and even if he does, there is absolutely no verification at the moment. Girolamo Savonarola 10:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. No sources provided. No google hits. Single edit editor makes it all look rather fishy. Megapixie 10:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete yeah, seems like vandalism ST47 Talk 11:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above. Someone who speaks French might know for sure, but I feel as though the surname might even be a vaguely offensive word, which could clinch the deal. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:42, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Probable hoax. Comedian Rick Mercer once fooled George W. Bush into accepting an endorsement from Canadian Prime Minister "Jean Poutine", rather than Jean Chretien.  The similarity in last names leads me to suspect this is a joke. Resolute 14:43, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and Poutine is a french-Canadian food dish, not an insult, heh. Resolute 14:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
