Thomas Malroi

Possible hoax. Good-faith searches in google scholar and Jstor turn up no information about a "Thomas Malroi", nor his alleged work, nor "The Little Steedy Press". May need an expert on this one, and would like someone else to check for proof of the subject's existence SamHolt6 (talk) 01:28, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Sam, I was looking the same time that you were. My search for the Earl of Kit brought up only two search results, and both seem to refer to some other Earldom (one is clearly a mistranscription of Earl of Kintore). I'm also suspecting that this page is a hoax. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 01:32, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
 * That is comforting, I thought I might be going crazy or may have overlooked something obvious. As far as the *possible hoaxes I have seen go, this one is rather sophisticated. SamHolt6 (talk) 01:35, 27 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Someone G3 this, please. I ran a before search on "Thomas Malroi" and literally everything else in the article. It turns out Gainsthorpe is a real place, and it turns out Arden of Faversham is a real thing. Also allegedly died before Elizabethan theatre was a thing. Everything appears to be pure fiction.

 * Delete - I, too, cannot find anything - I also tried a few different spellings (I did find a famous Thomas Malory!). Unless someone clever finds something, this fails WP:V. Smmurphy(Talk) 03:07, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
 * SPEEDY - CSD3 - it is all made up, including the reference. Agricolae (talk) 03:49, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:V. Possibly a mangled fork or attribution of Thomas Malory.Icewhiz (talk) 12:17, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Snow Delete as failing WP:V. I feel like there is some joke regarding Kit Marlowe here, but I am to dim to perceive it today. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 16:01, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete My search can't find this bad king either. Note to one-article wonder User:Regaliagirl1941: My dear, a hoax ought to be either clever or amusing. WP:SNOW.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:59, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I suspect a HOAX. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:57, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
