William Lawrence Robert Cassidy
Not sure whether this person is real. Needs some deeper fact-checking. A lot of notable facts are mentioned, so that should make it easier. -- BRIAN 0918   03:02, 6 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete  as unverifiable. A search for "William Cassidy" Buddhlism came up with this professor but nothing confirming the article before us. It came up empty in Google Books which is interesting given that the subject of the article is supposedly an author . A search for the full title namely "William Lawrence Robert Cassidy" didn't come up with anything  Capitalistroadster 03:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Note that Google Books has not yet indexed every book known to man. In fact, they've got quite a long ways to go.  So I wouldn't rely too heavily on it yet. Peyna 03:33, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * We are looking for verifiable evidence that this person exists and is of some note. Google Books is an indicator given that he claims to be an author. So far no verifiable evidence has been presented or found that confirms the claims of the author. Google Scholar comes up with little as well . Capitalistroadster 04:49, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I understand. I just wanted to make sure you weren't considering Google Books as all that reliable of a source, since they only have mostly public domain books, parts of a few libraries, and those they were able to get permission for. Peyna 14:16, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
