My searches absolutely nothing at all aside from results for other people or simply mirrors. What's especially interesting is this (change of content but no sourcds at all) and this has stayed too long (started in May 2008 by SPA) to not have gotten better and what's worse is that there has never been any other significant change. So unless this was an unknown person, there's simply nothing to confirm existence and suggest improvement. Inviting Calamondin12 for comment. SwisterTwister talk 02:40, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This was tickling me as such a fabrication I considered speedying but thought AfD was better and at best, if this man existed, the author may have been adding their family history (which would also explain the no sourcing). SwisterTwister talk 05:11, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I found absolutely nothing in my searches too, beginning to think this is just some hoax. SuperCarnivore591 (talk) 04:19, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If he actually was a "widely respected member of the British Parliament" active in speaking out about the Potato Famine in Ireland, then certainly he would be discussed in books indexed by Google. But I find nothing. Then, we have a major addition of content by an editor who claims to be a "history buff", and who made just this one edit and then disappeared. I think that this unreferenced article is a hoax. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:58, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
