Too much is being made of the patent, which was obviously just a quack 'cure'. As a physicist, I can find no sign of the innovative technology that others claim to see in it. It certainly 'apes' rational physics, but the overall design makes no sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.176.69 (talk) 19:36, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
:There's probably a reasonable article to write on Moray. But note that a previous article at this title was PRODed as having no reliable sources left after the unreliable sources were removed. So evidence that he is notable is something the present article could do with - David Gerard (talk) 09:34, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
You're joking, right? It is Entirely YOUR Opinion, that Moray belongs in the Class of Quack inventors. A Great Many might disagree with your strange opinions. You flatter yourself, and falsely claim expertise, in physics and science. Firstmm5 (talk) 10:24, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
According to some user-edit content out there, Moray earned his doctorate in electrical engineering from Uppsala University (which is in Sweden) and studied business at "LDS Business College" which I assume is a Mormon institution. Are there reliable sources concerning his formal education? Laval (talk) 14:23, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
I seem to remember that when I first started watching this article, there were all sorts of crazy claims made about out Moray. They all seem to have been edited away, and the only thing that's left is the patent; however, the patent has nothing to do with the production of energy. It's a device for combining "electric and radioactive therapy", which people thought was a thing back then.
Unless I hear otherwise, I'll modify the wording to reflect the correct content of the patent.
Once that happens, it's not clear there's anything notable at all. KaturianKaturian 16:37, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
"Ppl are being asked to put money in it"?? Really? Where?? You Really should Concentrate and Focus on the Facts and leave the Opinion and speculation to discussion forums! Firstmm5 (talk) 10:31, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
An internet search for Thomas Henry Moray finds 2,570,000 references. I suggest he is famous. Wikipedia writers may find some way to express the history of that fame without endorsing unproven claims. The page link for patent shows Moray's patent application US2460707A was never issued as a patent.Astrojed (talk) 00:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Any reliable source with significant coverage of Moray? If not, WP:AFD may be appropriate. Thanks, —PaleoNeonate – 16:44, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Returning to this article after a couple of years, nothing has really changed. Once you trim the unsourced claims, there's really nothing notable left.
I'm considering nominating it for deletion. Discussion? KaturianKaturian 16:36, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
OK, hearing no objections, I've proposed the article for deletion.KaturianKaturian 18:33, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
I am not supporting this page and will not object to deletion. Historical citations were given years ago and then deleted as not reliable. Thomas Henry Moray was a famous historical person with books written about him, and 2,200,000 references found in a web search today, none of which seem to be acceptable on the page. He was an inventor not commercially successful due to his poor choices. Some of his claims were not true and he infuriated many people in his life time, resulting in violence. Moray is historically famous, but strongly unpopular with academics.
The page can be compared to Thomas Townsend Brown, famous and possibly honest, but incompetent inventor of a device now understood as an ionic lifter, static electricity lowering the local density of air, not a gravity machine. The page can be contrasted to John_Ernst_Worrell_Keely deliberate fraud who made similar claims but did not invent anything. Are these pages also going to be stripped of similar citations and deleted?
Scientifically Moray is not very notable. Historically he is. The page has been downgraded repeatedly by scientists when it should have been constructed by historians. Maybe Wikipedia is not the place for it. Astrojed (talk) 23:40, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
