Max Gore

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Apparent hoax, and if not, fails WP:N as notability is asserted but no coverage in reliable secondary sources (or any sources at all). Unlikely given the 100-person death tally which would rank him second on the US serial killers list, and includes a fictional Supreme Court Judge. The deaths were via "death traps" in a small-town hotel which unaccountably continued to receive guests. The name "Max Gore" is also something of a giveaway.

 * Delete. In a way, it feels as the article has been written almost like a story. No references for any of the claims, and one is left to conclude that this 'Max Gore' is indeed fictional.  A Prodigy   ~In Pursuit of Perfection ~ 10:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
