Likely spoof article. The provided refs do not mention this person. I can't find any other evidence of his supposed achievements. And this page is an interesting piece of evidence. —S MALL JIM   21:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless cleaned up with proper evidence of notability. Stifle (talk) 22:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with the nom that this looks like vanity due to the EL. Creator is an SPA. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 23:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Definitely a hoax. No references anywhere. In addition to the link provided by the nom, there is also this link to the list of Clemson University Improvisational Comedy club, where he appears under "2005-2006 Season". Also the history log of the article, especially various anon IP edits to the "Personal Life" section, is quite telling. An undergraduate student trying to do some improvisational comedy on Wikipedia. Apparently succeeded for over a year since the article was created in March 2007. Nsk92 (talk) 10:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
