James Battams
Well-written and interesting article; unforunately, it's also probably false. Google turns up nada when on both him and Emily Dean (also submitted for deletion) when "-wikipedia" is added. The submitter, ShahXerxes, submitted both of them at once. His main other notable contribution was to defend another article that may have been written by him or a compatriot: Articles_for_deletion/James_H._Robertson

Seems like we have one intelligent ringleader, and his (school?) friends. The topic in both is Australian. It's probably of the same variety.

Note that if these two are deleted, the Cainites Category will also be empty. SnowFire 15:09, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete Checking the creator's user history, he seems to have a lot of sockpuppets; but he also seems to have lost interest in Wikipedia, since his last edits are in 2005. Danny Lilithborne 22:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
