The result was Speedy deleted under CSD A6 (Personal Attack). Whether this is a hoax is irrelevant. An encyclopedia article cannot claim its subject is gravely mentally ill unless there are sources confirming this. Xoloz 01:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hobo Jenkins
Subject is unverifiable and possibly non-notable (not every deranged murdered needs an article). The story is also very confused. Where the heck does Clark come from in this story? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metros232 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment: The article has been changed several times by anonymous users since this AfD started. I removed some of those changes (they were simply things better suited for the talk page) but one that's stayed is that "Clark" references have changed to "he".  Metros232 03:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete I'm...confused...This is boderline non-sense, and most likely something someone wrote about a friend. Unverifiable, and unencylopedic. Yank  sox  13:08, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Yanksox. --Shizane 15:23, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:BIO, WP:V, WP:NN and WP:NOR. I'm sure it fails alot more but you get the picture by now....Zos 18:48, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and the other valid comments made above. I put multiple tags on the article, attempting to prod the author into making improvements (including verification and references), but rather than improve the article, he simply deleted the tags.  So, let's just delete it altogether and be done with it. ---Charles 04:03, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Hobo Jenkins is a great threat and to delete the entry would create much concern for those who face his wrath.. like little pud wankers like the above authors who have nothing better to contribute to society than edit wikipedia. Get a job and buy some storm windows or atleast do something meaningful with your life, and yes, I'm aware of the irony of this so keep it to yourself bright eyes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.68.81 (talk • contribs)
 * My advice to you is that you take fewer drugs and get some sleep. Don't worry, the nightmares will go away. ---Charles 04:50, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom non-noteable. Also Wikipedia is NOT a soapbox. Davidpdx 02:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


 * The subject of said "hobo Jenkins" relates to a David Jenkins, born CT. The date given by the author is incorrect, as jenkins birthday is in the year 1950 not 1968. Possible hoax story from some overwieght college kids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.60.123.223 (talk • contribs) User's first edit is to this AfD.  Metros232 12:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
