Lloyd Leggett

This page appears to be a hoax. The creator of the page has no WP edit history. After initially creating the article, he later added two "facts", both of which are prima facie false, apparently as a claim to notability:

That L.L. was a Welsh prince. The last claimant to being a Welsh prince was in 1409 -- see Prince of Wales.
That his daughter was the first woman MP from Wales. But the first woman MP from anywhere was in 1918 -- see Countess de Markievicz.

There is also no trace of Lloyd Leggett in Google, Google Books, or Google Scholar. Macrakis 19:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pedantic comment De Markievicz never swore the oath so never got the title MP - the first woman MP was Nancy Astor in 1919 - iridescenti (talk to me!) 21:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete. No sources, not verifiable, and someone such as a member of british parliament would have more websites mentioning him. Definite, strong, delete. --KaufmanIsAwesome 20:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
