[edit] Ken Mannuzza

I'm certain this article is a hoax but cannot check the reference given for the information. Through various versions of this article, this person has claimed to be a 1973 Nobel Prize winner, the 4th person to walk on the moon, a member of the Apollo 12 mission, etc, but Google has never heard of him and neither has the official Nobel Prize website (page located here: http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/lists/1973.html). Thanks. Rnb (talk) 00:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - I have removed any info I cannot prove and also do not believe Google is a reliable search engine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nowayno (talk • contribs) 00:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - I also suspect a hoax, having gotten zero ghits. Regardless, the subject is non-notable. Doc Tropics 01:50, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - Searching the NASA website for "Mannuzza" provided no results. Searching for "Ken Mannuzza" Yahoo: gives no results, Google: gives no results, Answers.com: gives a mirror to the article. This article definitely appears to be a hoax. Even if not a hoax the article does not meet the notability requirements Jons63 (talk) 02:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. No Google hits other than Wikipedia and mirrors. I can't even find evidence that the subject exists, much less that he is notable. Even if everything in the article (as it has now been edited) is true, that would make the subject just one of thousands of NASA employees. If one doesn't believe Google is a reliable search engine, adding inaccurate information to Wikipedia isn't going to help the situation, since Wikipedia articles tend to show up very high in Google search results. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
