Joseph Ivor Linton
By my opinion this article is a hoax and therefore I list it for deletion. The bio is very strange and I found no information whatsoever on this person. If he would have been as well known as the articles implies, something would have popped up. gidonb 00:12, 22 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Ah, I think I see the problem. From what I can tell - and this is difficult because of Wikimirrors muddling the waters, but this article shows it clearly, with a bibliography that refers to original source documents from the 1950s: he was also referred to as Ivor Joseph Linton, and also by his initials. Israel's diplomatic archives mention "J.I. Linton" as the source of 1954 messages from Tokyo, for instance. Keep. DS 13:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks DS, since the problem was a factual one, I will stop the process. gidonb 13:54, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
