Hinckley Band of Thieves

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails notability. The only google hits Hinckley Band of Thieves are wikipedia mirrors. The "lead" member Fredric Hinckley doesn't appear to exist. No reputable sources. Nothing to support claim the band existed for upwards of 170 years. No significant content (eg. location, impact on society, history.) No content added since 2005. Hoax? Gwinva (talk) 00:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:V. Probably has something to do with a game or a Web site or something of the sort, but it doesn't satisfy any of the criteria of the WP:GNG. Deor (talk) 00:40, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Geschichte (talk) 06:20, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete either a hoax for a fictional element so minor even Google hasn't heard of it. Delete either way. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:33, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: could find nothing, therefore delete. Dewritech (talk) 16:41, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax. None of the people mentioned appears in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Searches for "Hinckley" in the Bibliography of British and Irish History, the British Humanities Index and Historical Abstracts produce no relevant results.

Delete Non-notable at best, probable hoax. Edward321 (talk) 20:53, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
