James Cole

Why is this on VFD? --84.9.103.212 22:41, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article in its present state will need a lot of work, but I don't think we should get rid of it. dmj27 0034, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
Delete unless someone can provide some source for the existence of this person (or even the place "Remis, Scotland" which doesn't seem to exist AFAICT). --Russ Blau (talk) 21:12, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
Keep My granny lives in Remis, it does indeed exist, although it is a small village with about 800 residents. In fact her local butcher sold me some of the finest haggis I've ever eaten. The story itself may not actually be true, but it is a legend that haunts the place to this very day. --spankthecrumpet 15:16, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Above vote is not from spankthecrumpet but User:131.111.8.101. Mgm|^(talk) 14:14, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
yes but spankthecrumpet is a disgraceful person
- I don't care how disgraceful he is. You don't have the right to impersonate him. Mgm|^(talk) 18:59, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
Delete unless references can be provided. Probably a hoax, James Cole is the main character in Twelve Monkeys. --W(t) 16:17, 2005 May 25 (UTC)
There is certainly no such place as 'Remis, Scotland' - the granny, and I suspect the subject, are figments of a over-active imagination. Delete --Doc (?) 18:38, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Hoax, childishness. I'd settle for a single citation of "child molesting" in 1600-1634. Geogre 19:20, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless anyone can drastically expand it. Sonic Mew 22:52, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, nonverifiable. Rick K 22:53, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
Keep the Force is strong with this 'James Cole'. Ooo paaa, ooo paaa --Darth Vader 19:31, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Above comment is first edit by a newly-registered user. Russ Blau (talk) 20:39, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
Additional information: Since the nomination, the page has been modified to include an External link to a page that purports to be a historical document describing the crimes of James Cole. In fact, it is a forgery of the story of Sawney Beane, the original version which can be found at Sawney Beane. I think this conclusively proves that this page is a fraud.

Delete. This is a piece of puerile vandalism by Dmj27 (talk · contribs), in line with the rest of his edits. I've just blocked him from editing for 24 hours, as he seems to be here to do nothing but vandalise Wikipedia. I suspect that he'll end up being blocked permanently, but e can hope that he'll grow up very quickly. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:07, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- If there is a consensus that this is vandalism - can it be speedied?--Doc (?) 22:01, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
When I first saw it I was going to speedy it, but as there were already a lot of votes here, I held off. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:59, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It's been on vfd for over 10 days now, and all of the 'keep' votes are from sockpuppets. I encourage you to go ahead and speedy it. Russ Blau (talk) 10:14, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)----
