 * I've added this article in, having looked at it, because it is recent, unsourced, by the same editor, and looks, on the WP:DUCK basis, to be WP:MADEUP, if not WP:HOAX. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 00:45, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

0 non-wiki ghits for "Haystacks Maguire"; non-wiki ghits for "John Maguire" + any of several prominent terms in article don't give hits that show notability. No sources in article that show notability. Original editor placed "hangon" tag when article was speedied. I assume this means a prod will be contested, so I'm taking it to AfD.

 * Delete Lacking in both sourcing and credibility on several fronts. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 23:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have to agree, I can't find any Google hits for anything claimed in this article, EA's gaming materials don't reveal his name (re the "sanctioned tournaments") AFAIK.  There may be local Australian materials that cite him, but I can't see that that's sufficient notability to pass WP:BIO.  Accounting4Taste 00:06, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. As well as GS&MPU, also from this editor.   Into The Fray   T / C  01:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * D'oh. I didn't realize that GS&MPU had been nom'd here too.  *scurries off to fix his relisting*  Into The Fray   T / C  01:09, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright, not sure if it was the right way to go about it, but I pointed my tag on GS&MPU here as well. Cheers,  Into The Fray   T / C  01:19, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment This editor has been busy., , . His love of cats notwithstanding, I for one would be looking for a gesture of bona fides here. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 01:36, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable bio. Tiptoety 02:04, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - No sources have been cited and none seem to be available. Certainly, Google News and News Archives come up with nothing. Capitalistroadster 03:14, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - Judas Goat One finds it quite sad when ones attempts to contribute rare gems to the vast knowledgebase that it Wikipedia, that ones efforts are viewed in such a cynical light. Simply because these entries don't light up the diodes at Google doesn't mean that they don't exist - indeed, there are 826 mentions of the ficticious Lawrence Wrenngrodd 16:38, October 8th 2007 (AET) —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 06:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Yes, but he's patently fictitious and dressed up to look as if he's real. Looks like my plea for evidence of bona fides went unheard --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 06:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete as not having any assertion of notability, much less any verifiable or reliable sources. Judas Goat's arguments -- some fictional guy has more Ghits, and "Haystacks is a gem" -- amounts to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:ILIKEIT, respectively.  Also, the last section, about some tourney that might happen in 2008, badly violates WP:CRYSTAL. Bearian&#39;sBooties 19:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
