[edit] Fin Smith

I might be wrong but that looks like a hoax to me. There is no Google hit for a Fineous Farrier, there are no references given and why is the article called Fin Smith? It's also the only contribution of the user ‎FinLeNinja Optimale ^Gu 12:11, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, looks like a hoax. If it is a major figure in Fin history, why are there no Google hits and why does he not exist in the Finnish Wikipedia.... Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 12:29, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom and Cpt. Morgan, especially since the article name is "Fin Smith" and not Fineous Farrier. Looks like a vanity site to me. Neil916 23:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable, violating WP:BIO. It seems to me like someone creating a vanity page (Fin Smith, as listed as a descendant), trying to fluff it up to something notable. Several minutes with Google with various combinations of Farrier, Fin, Sweden, Lutheran, and dates produced nothing relevant. Ted^Talk/_{Contributions} 02:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. It looks like the surname Farrier is sometimes Americanized as Smith, since the two trades are related. However, I can find no mention of Fineous Farrier in any historical text. --Aguerriero (talk) 18:40, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
