Rachel robson

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

An article about a woman whose supposed claim to fame is being the first female gas engineer in the UK. I strongly suspect that this is a hoax as there are no sources available to verify any of the claims made in this article, all of which are highly dubious.

 * Delete.I can't find anything referencing "rachel robson" as a gas engineer, and I strongly suspect this comes under the heading of WP:BULLSHIT. Assuming for a second that this is a real person the lack of sources available is indicative in a way of her lack of notability; first female engineer for a particular company? First female engineer in the country maybe (see Elizabeth Garrett Anderson) but this person doesn't have a shred of notability to her name. Ironholds (talk) 14:25, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete agree that this smells like BS. Searching for "Rachel Robson" gives a radio show host on KJHK, a professor at Doane College, and various blog and myspace pages which do not seem to have anything to do with the person described in the article. This is therefore a hoax article, unless references can be provided, but since none seem to exist, delete is the verdict.  Theseeker4 (talk) 16:05, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete Investigated and is a WP:HOAX Even the name of the author "Edmund Goodson" who supposedly won a prize for writing about her has 0 Ghits.  I think a CSD G3 is appropriate here.  Didn't tag it... waiting for more consensus --Pmedema (talk) 18:59, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
