The Pilkington Family

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

Unsourced and unverifiable article, possible hoax. DAJF (talk) 03:53, 15 September 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete. The only evidence I can find that the family members listed here founded any schools comes from edits to Wikipedia by the same person who created this article. In other words, there are no sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:16, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as above. a unique name like Fantelroy Pilkington should be rather easy to pick out through the noise in a Google search, but it pinpoints down to only Wikipedia-related articles. I suspect this is bogus. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:11, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above. Looks like a likely hoax. Nsk92 (talk) 20:46, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly a hoax --Jack1956 (talk) 21:22, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Possibly a hoax. I couldn't find a reliable source. Axl  ¤  [Talk]  17:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Quite likely a hoax. The articles for the claimed schools all list other founders. There is a Pilkington family, but they are glass makers, not educators (q.v. Pilkington).--Auric (talk) 17:16, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
