Scottish hell
Delete: I can't find any references to the playright Fredorof (delete) or either play (see also The Constant Telgram, delete). I may not be looking hard enough, or it may be incredibly obscure, or it may be non-notable, or the whole thing may be winding us up. Hu 01:24, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as nonsense/vandalism. I did a bit of digging: the article creator's username shows nothing before yesterday.  Only contributions were to create unverifiable articles nominated for deletion and the following contribution to hell:
 * "Matthew Kershaw wrote about his own personal account of hell in 1966's Northern Crusade. The account is of him being forced northwards, by a weird being and his relatives. Cats play a large part in the book, (little of this was incorporated in the film and play versions) with the most deeply sorrowful tall of a deceased cat that accompinied Matthew on his journey. The tale is perhaps an allegory for hell and heaven, his own appreciation of his life in the south being the stories final chapter."
 * This is all WP:Complete Bollocks. Amazon.com lists no author named Matthew Kershaw.  The IMDB has no film titled Northern Crusade.  The active Wikilink is to the historical Northern Crusade.  I suspect that this is a sock puppet of User:Chris04, a username also minted yesterday, who created the related Scottish hell article and Core-based trees.  I nominated the latter for a speedy as nonsense/vandalism because the article has nothing to do with the actual computing term core-based trees.
 * This also leads to unregistered user Special:Contributions/194.80.204.67, another contributor who has been a busy vandal. I'm undoing his/her damage atm and hope an administrator looks into the situation. Durova 02:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: The user User:Kingofengland, Contributions, who made the junk edit to hell referenced above, removed two "Call for Speedy Delete" from the related Fredorof page (calls by Pavel Vozenilek and Looper5920). Hu 03:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. An 18th-century poet writing about telegrams. Sounds like a hoax to me and user Durova has outlined her research into the same which has failed to verify the evidence. Capitalistroadster 02:33, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
