CSD

[edit]
  • Note to Admin - A quick Google Search comes up with someone by the name of Baldy Jack Rose which we have an article on. This doesn't seem to be the person, and no other searches bring anything up. I'm wondering if it's a fictional character, or if it's possibly the above person. In either sense, it's CSD worthy.

This (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL) gives us nothing.
This Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL gives us a former HoR member from Connecticut.
This google search using his name and alleged date of death only turns up this article and the one that Dusti has linked to. The SPA creator of the article may have created on article for a fictional character or may have created a hoax - either way the speedy tag was proper giving the available evidence it should be restored or an AFD filed ASAP.

Okay per HWs edit summary lets try this Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL turns up several items. Thus I have struck my comment above. However, this is an unsourced WP:POV mess at the moment. I would suggest moving it to userspace and let the editor work on it until it meets the standards for a wikipedia article. My apologies to HW for my earlier errors. MarnetteD|Talk 22:40, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You dug way deeper than I did - and thus I'm sure HW can see how my error was made. Though, the comments made on his talk page are still insulting and unbecoming of an administrator. I'm glad someone else posted and showed how I came to my conclusion. We're only human. Dusti*Let's talk!* 22:42, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this is too messy to be an article at the moment. I believe that this should be moved to Draft:John J. "Bald Jack" Ryan.--Launchballer 12:22, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
