This nothing more than a non-notable conspiracy theory. —አቤል ዳዊት (Janweh64) (talk) 01:53, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - This 'biography' was created as a WP:COATRACK for the conspiracy theory. Note that a (much more conspiratorially-worded, so not G4able) version of this article was previously created at Thomas Ogle and deleted at AfD five years ago (with that title having been since recreated on an entirely different person/subject); none of the current "references" are WP:RSes, a check of GBooks, discounting xLibris and other WP:SPS, doesn't indicate that anything more has been published to further notability of either the man or his "invention". - The Bushranger One ping only 04:18, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. One blog source used as a ref is repeated on other sites and then referenced for this article. I could find no reliable sources. Fails WP:BIO. AuthorAuthor (talk) 05:53, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment It should be noted that an article on Tom Ogle's life is not completely lacking in reliable sources. I would hate for this to get salted. It maybe possible someday to write this article. —አቤል ዳዊት (Janweh64) (talk) 06:28, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It's vaguely possible that "the 100MPG Carburator" could squeak past the hoax/conspiracy-theory notability bar. But the article would need to be on the invention, not the inventor, as this and the previous "try" both have coatracked it. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:54, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
