[edit] Augustus Grosz

Augustus Grosz (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Hoax. If this isn't clear after reading the article, be advised that "Augustus Grosz" yields no hits in Google Scholar or in other databases. Some of the references (like Energism) can't be found in Worldcat and presumably don't exist, while others (like Emile) exist but have nothing to do with Grosz. Spacepotato 00:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete So, he was a proto-furry? His books were unpublished but influential? Plus, the two listed sources I looked for don't check out. ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 01:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Outside of this article, no mentions of him anywhere. The Energism book does not appear to exist [1], the Wittner book does not so much as mention the name "Grosz" in the index, and any references that purport to specifically mention this Grosz either cannot be located [2] or are forthcoming and cannot be referenced. --Dajagr 17:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, probably a hoax In addition to User:Dajagr's comments, I'd like to point out that "Mount Carmel Press", the publishers of his "upcoming book", are located in Dubuque, not Accrington. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
