I came across this as an orphan page. This appears to be a hoax, subject gets no ghits and creators hx is of minor vandalism with this being a step up. It was rather plausible until the last sentence though. killing sparrows 05:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. The tone of the article is typical for figures who have no real accomplishments in life. YechielMan 06:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. It looks like a vanity entry. The only claim to notability is that he "become very well known for his approach to the spiritual world and takes part in many theological debates, most famously with Richard Dawkins in 2006" which isn't a very strong claim (but was enough to discourage me from speedying when I added the importance tag).

  • Delete, WP:COI, self promotional, WP:V, WP:HOAX. Terence 08:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for lack of notability; in fact I don't see any claim of notability there. Anyone can take part in debates and submit comments as Alan Darley is said to have done. Sam Blacketer 10:10, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete quickly as hoax.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 18:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete although I would love to know more about his problems with ”tensions in the workplace”. The Boy that time forgot 21:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, possibly speedy. This is either vanity or a hoax. Surprised it wasn't speedied in the first place. Realkyhick 23:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete would be the correct solution to this problem. RFerreira 03:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
