[edit] Maguire Kings

Maguire Kings (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I suspect this article may be a hoax as its style and content are similar to a series of gradually more elaborate hoaxes on the Maguiresbridge page. Does anyone know if Fermanagheditor uses one of the IP adresses (84.67.168.77, 84.65.47.220, 82.29.236.10, 90.242.18.43, 90.240.10.70) which were used to do this?

Also, the heads of clans were known as 'chiefs' or 'chieftans' (or its Gaelic equivalent), not 'kings'. The only references quoted are links to amature web-pages, one of which (according to Fermanagheditor's talk page) was created by him. Unknown Unknowns 11:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as it stands Currently it fails WP:RS as the only sources are personal pages. The concern brought up by Unknown Unknonws is also an issue. Kwsn(Ni!) 13:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: Take your pick as to the reasons to ashcan this rambling, turgid essay; this could be a hoax, or if not it constitutes a whopping amount of WP:OR. In any event it lacks any reliable sources, and has a great many assertions requiring the same.  RGTraynor  14:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as OR and possible copyvio. --John 15:31, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • No it shouldnt be deleted as i have PROVEN (with site references) time and time again to you that the article is not a 'hoax'. Therefore i have REMOVED you deletion tag and please rerain from editing any articles i have created wen there is no reason to do so.

Thankyou. p.s what has my IP address got to do with anything? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fermanagheditor (talk • contribs)

  • Comment: Quite aside from the article's lack of reliable sources (WP:RS), Wikipedia has a few pertinent principles. First off, no one "owns" an article, and every single edit screen contains the language "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it." (WP:OWN). Secondly, removing a deletion tag before the AfD concludes is a serious offense, and can get you blocked; don't do it. I recommend going over some of the links we've given here and on your talk page to see what the policies and guidelines are here.  RGTraynor  16:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment I see Fermanagheditor has blanked the article and indicates he/she now wants it to be deleted. As he/she was the only substantial editor, I propose closing this as a speedy delete if there are no further objections or comments. --John 21:22, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
