Proposed deletion of Johan Michael Jacks

edit
 

The article Johan Michael Jacks has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non notable, there is probably not enough about him anyway to create an actual article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Are this article and other related edits by User:John Dillonshire hoaxes?

edit
This thread copied from Talk:Lauri Kovalainen. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 07:37, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Maybe someone more experienced editor could take a look on these? For long I've had a high doubt that the articles Lauri Kovalainen (the most dubious one), Joonas Kovalainen (he actually did exist but definitely not a notable topic) and other related edits by User:John Dillonshire are truthful. Why?

These really look like hoax articles to me, and they seem like some sort of playground for this user. Some time ago I asked for opinions at the Finnish Wikipedia, but that really didn't lead anywhere. However, User:Antilope managed to find one of the sources online (the PDF linked above), and User:Risukarhi also had same doubts about the claims and sources of the article Lauri Kovalainen. 85.194.243.243 (talk) 21:39, 17 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
