John Forbes (actor)

Hoax. Several things about this article seem to match an actual actor/doctor named "John Forbs" who is in grey's anatomy (same as the name of the author of the article.). Every other aspect of the article seem to be a complete fabrication. The article claims his son is an actor yet brought back no relevant Ghits. Every single movie that is not wikilinked is also fabricated. Trusilver (talk) 07:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - Article is pure nonsense and completely fake. No reference citations support claim that this person even exists, article mentions fake movies he supposedly starred in, real movies that are linked show no proof of him appearing in them, and he has no entry in IMDB. Total hoax. Gromlakh (talk) 07:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per nom. Cnwb (talk) 07:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - no usable encyclopaedic content. John Forbs wsa speedy deleted a month ago (related?). Guest9999 (talk) 09:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nomination. Gwynand (talk) 14:09, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no entry in imdb or a mention in the imdb entries for any of the shows or films that he's supposedly in. I think this is a hoax Doc Strange (talk) 14:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Do Not Delete. Give the creator a chance to fix his article. Also, it is believed that John Forbs was a mistaken spelling of the person's name. Forbes with an e is the correct way to spell the name, as I know John Forbes and his wife Evelyn, not Gena.

 * DO NOT DELETE MY ARTICLE. I admit that this seems too good to be true, but I assure you that I am finding evidence to claim some of the information about Dr. Forbes' life and career. John Forbs is my name, his is spelled with an e, not without. That is why I found it necessary to create this page about the actor. Rest assured that if I cannot find any proof out there that the said actor does not exist, I will help you to delete this article as I take this very, very Seriously. But in the meantime, Do not delete this page. The references are piling up on John Forbes, M.D. John Forbs (talk) 10:01 18 January 2008
 * Comment - It appears that this is a joke at this point. What are you talking about? Show evidence somewhere, now, that he has appeared in anything that the page purports he has.Gwynand (talk) 15:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - John, trying to pad the vote with other votes for users that don't exist not only won't help your case, but makes you look foolish. Don't deny you did this, it's in the history. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 15:20, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong delete. I'm in agreement with the other !votes here, this is a hoax. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 15:20, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
