St. Catherine's Day Massacre (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Apparent hoax - a third chamber of the UK Parliament that was wiped out following a massacre in 1505? I think not. No refs, needless to say, and a quick look on Google and in my Oxford History of Britain fails to reveal anything. BencherliteTalk 07:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete. Even more ridiculous is this part: "the St. Catherine's Day Massacre wiped out all (emphasis added) the landowning families". Clearly a hoax. --MQDuck 07:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. St. Bartholomew's Day massacre "traditionally believed to have been instigated by Catherine de' Medici" is not St. Catherine's Day Massacre. The other article produces no Google hits and references only to SCDM which refs only to itself. I'd vote hoax or severely mistaken editor. --Faith (talk) 12:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - I have studied the history of UK Parliament and this is total bunkum. -- Roleplayer (talk) 13:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Both are creative, to be sure, but apparently hoaxes. TN‑X-Man 13:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete both. Note that St. Catherine's Day massacre cites itself as a reference --Dhartung | Talk 16:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete for both. Pure bull***t - should have been created on April 1! Enaidmawr (talk) 23:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
