Newcastle Group
This private equity group does not appear to have a website. Google hits on "Newcastle group" seem to refer to scientific collaborations. In particular, searching on "Newcastle group" + "Thieme" (the claimed 25-year-old chairman, see Christopher D. Thieme) turns up 3 hits, all Wikipedia clones. -- Curps 20:05, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Christopher D. Thieme is the Chairman, and Newcastle Group is quite real, but being a private, closely held company, some information about it is not well known. It manages assets of 13 billion US dollars.
 * The problem is, it seems its very existence is not very well known (to Google at least). Google of "Newcastle Group" + "private equity" only seems to turn up Wikipedia clones and a handful of other false-positive hits. -- Curps 20:52, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If this company is so private that little is known about it, I think that qualifies it as being not notable. -Casito&#8669;Talk 22:46, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as unverifiable. Rossami (talk) 23:15, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable. There appears to be a company called "Newcastle Group" out there, but it doesn't appear to be the one mentioned in this article. --Carnildo 23:17, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, hoax. Its supposed chairman is non-notable, and a hoax as well.  RickK 23:46, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
