Thomasians
Thomasians has been deleted as a fake on the German wikipedia today. Everybody (about 10 users) agreed on that. The sources are dubious, the Thomasians, their founder and many other subjects in the text are simply untraceable, not only with a normal web search, but even with a Google scholar and book search. This article is an English translation of the German original. The German version is the only article the author contributed to, he never did anything else than writing this and linking other articles to it (these have been cleaned up as well today in the German WP).

 * Delete per WP:HOAX. Thank you for the tipoff on this. I see the article claims that "Most of the information presented in this article is derived from conversations with a German Thomasian." In that case, it would surely constitute original research, even if it wasn't a hoax. --Malcolmxl5 00:53, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I did a search on German sources, but every mention was a Wiki mirror. The only mentions of "Thomasianer" were of Thomists. Askari Mark (Talk) 01:35, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
