This is a hoax. A Google for "Sam Overland" "Habsburg-Overlanders" returns 0 hits. In fact, a Google for "Habsburg-Overlanders" returns 0 hits. Jkelly 07:10, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. An obvious hoax, could fall under the patent nonsense clause. It comes with pictures (Image:Overland.JPG) and sockpuppets proclaiming "We have the right to TELL THE TRUTH about Dr. Overland." --Prosfilaes 08:10, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. I think I've already listed five or six spin-off articles relating to this hoax through the speedy delete process.  This one should be no different.  (I also suggest a careful review of all the edits by the creators of the hoax.  They did a lot of manure-spreading tonight... Tom Lillis 08:56, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The article claims that the disappearance of Dr Overland came as a great surprise. The disappearance of this piece of silly vandalism should come as no surprise as yours truly is just about to speedy delete it. Capitalistroadster 09:36, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
