[edit] Joseph Schiavi

Joseph Schiavi (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested Prod (tag removed and no explanation given) and likely hoax, I feel. None of this is verifiable based on internet searches, including Mr. Schiavi as a carver [1], as an athlete [2], the existence of his father [3], the African architect [4], and the various churches (e.g. St. Aurthor Williams [5]).

On further investigation it appears that the creator and only editor is one Joey Schiavi who was also born on September 12 but 100 years later (to the day) than Joseph Schiavi: see User:Wlwfb10. --Slp1 13:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Should have been tag with speedy delete. ShoesssS^Talk

comment: I think there is a claim to notability here, and articles can't be speedied for being a suspected hoax, so I believe Prod was the way to go. Or at least that is my understanding of things--Slp1 18:58, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
