Article for an actor created in 2012 containing unsourced and downright fallacious material, added by the article creator and IP editors. I came across the article in the sock-puppet investigation archives for prolific hoax creator Jake Picasso when I noticed what should have been a red-link had become blue again. While there is an actor named Keith Parry, the career arc in this article bears no resemblance to that of the real actor. The chief claims to fame for the subject in this article are appearances in Coronation Street and in a sitcom called "Life on the Block"; his appearance in Corrie is surprisingly unverifiable, as is his role in the sitcom, which is also surprisingly unheard-of for a sitcom that apparently ran for 5 years. His appearances in quite a lot of the more famous films of the 1990s, including Titanic, The Fifth Element and The Talented Mr. Ripley also seem to have gone unremarked upon anywhere on the Internet, as do his stage appearances. In other words, this article is pretty much a hoax, and in addition, a hoax in the inimitable style of Jake Picasso. Perhaps it is a candidate for speedy deletion, but as there is an actor of the same name, I decided to take the matter here.  FlowerpotmaN &middot;( t ) 01:14, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete There does appear to be an actor of the same name, but some of what is said here is unverifiable and hoaxy, and even if some of it is not, WP:TNT is the best process for creating an article we have the slightest confidence in.  --j⚛e deckertalk 18:21, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I would have to go with virtually everything being hoaxy; I can't find any detail that would coincide of what I can find of the biography of real actor of the same name. The creator of the article is aware of the real actor as he included what was the only valid link in the article to the IMDb page, but even putting aside for a moment the fact that IMDb isn't a reliable source, nothing coincides with the IMdb entry anyway. If there was something worth saving here, I would be all for it, but there isn't.  FlowerpotmaN &middot;( t ) 01:56, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
