Jordan King
This looks to be a hoax. The Parthenon Group is real enough but it's in Boston, USA and appears to have a connection with New Zealand as it was co-founded by John C. Rutherford from New Zealand. However, there is nothing on the Parthenon website about Jordan King that I could find. Of course trying to search for the man produces millions of hits about the King of Jordan. Not voting at this time just listing as I think it needs more research. CambridgeBayWeather 08:40, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Follow up. According to the link at the bottom of the article to King's website in the archive section this article may have been created by King. Scroll to the bottom and it's in the tag board. Also if you check out Zeromillion, again scroll to the bottom, and there is a post from King. CambridgeBayWeather 08:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

If you trying going to www.google.co.nz and typing in Jordan King and searching under pages of New Zealand, there is a fair amount of info about King.
 * Comment - well, I did as you say, and there are matches for Jordan King, though mostly not relevant. However, I found no matches for '"Jordan King" jazz cafe', none for '"Jordan King" parthenon' and no relevant matches for '"Jordan King" entrepreneur'. If *real* information exists, please provide some direct references. --David Edgar 11:06, 28 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Vanity page, unencyclopedic individual. It also seems unlikely that the same person would be "currently too young to vote" and at the same time "head of the Parthenon Group of Companies", as the article currently claims... --David Edgar 11:06, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as attack page under WP:CSD A6. The article claims that the subject became a supporter of a certain political party because of a flesh-eating disease which damaged his brain. --Metropolitan90 00:07, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as non-notable vanity bio (db-bio) --Ritchy 00:09, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * DeleteNo hits on a New Zealand search engine. Hoax and attack.--71.28.242.96 00:12, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as nn-bio. (Not CSD:A6 in my opinion, since the attack stuff is vandalism added later.) MCB 01:40, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable bio at best, the ravings of a madman at... well, second-best. --Dalziel 86 08:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
