Red Reachtagáin

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Fails WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE. Can't find a single mention online of a "Red Reachtagáin" or "The Schweitzer Institute Journal of Philosophy". The sole WP:Verifiable reference cited mentions a Ben Noakes, but no evidence that this is the same person. Article was prodded twice for this. This time a link to an essay on iseps.org.uk (Institute for socio-economic and political studies) was cited, and article was undeleted by an admin, but the domain is registered to a Ben Noakes. A few hours after I mentioned this at the talk page, article creator removed that cite. The real Schweitzer Institute sites online don't link back to that domain, and editor's only contributions so far have been to create these two articles and to bump isep.org.uk link up to top of EL list at Albert Schweitzer Institute. Probable WP:HOAX. Top Jim (talk) 05:30, 23 October 2010 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related page as it also appears to be a hoax by the same editor. Zero mention online, and sole reference is WP:PRIMARY from iseps.org.uk, registered to Ben Noakes. Either invented to support notability of author, or completely non-notable:

I am also nominating the following related page. Unreferenced, zero mention online, edits by its creator have been only to create this article and Michael Noakes. Further edits were done by User:BenjaminJones, whose only other edits were to add info on this group to Albert Schweitzer Institute and to add Ben Noakes' name to List of Old Etonians born in the 20th century. There's a whiff of WP:Sockpuppetry here. If the organization does exist, it's non-notable per WP:ORG:

 * Delete. For someone who claims to work for the monolithic BBC, having no results anywhere online is a huge red flag. Very likely a hoax. And seeing that the only other article the creator of this entry has contributed to is also a hoax, these articles were probably written as a joke.--hkr Laozi speak  06:15, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Oldest trick in the book - link to references that look relevant (to people who only glance at them) but aren't. Smacks of hoax. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 09:27, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all 3, because TopJim beat me to it and I want some credit for my detective work too! Bigger digger (talk) 14:14, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable at best, almost certainly a hoax. Edward321 (talk) 02:19, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
