This article has been prodded twice, each time removed by a comet18 and comet20 (which I can only assume is the same contributor being the only ones who have contributed to the article. Both have added to other articles, which has been removed as vandalism (example Yeti, added the words “The Yeti just straight beats off all the time”) I cannot find a single reference for Jacob Engelman Meils save for a student achievement for 2006 at The College of Wooster. Pegged as a hoax by me irrespective of the reference now given. Firm delete--Richhoncho 23:06, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How are you going to suggest deleting the page without even checking out the reference? It's not a hoax, do your homework. And can you prove to me that the Yeti doesn't straight beat off all the time? The burden of proof is on you. Show me ONE picture, just one, where the Yeti isn't beating off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Comet20 (talk • contribs)

• Apparently Chris Sabo also beats off all the time. Improbable coincidence of name suggests to me it is possible that one same student by that name from Wooster College spun this yarn. Also there is no 2006 edition of the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy that I could find. Curious lack of Ghits. Even from the article itself, it appears that little is known about the subject, therefore fails WP:V in a pretty big way. Delete per nom. Ohconfucius 07:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're checking the online edition of Routledge which is different than their actual published encyclopedias. A reference was left and I suggest you check it before you get all up in arms about this. It would be against what we're working toward here at Wikipedia to delete an article with a reputable reference. And Chris Sabo would be the first to admit to you that he beats off all the time, and if you want I can provide a reference for that too. --140.103.193.66 14:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: well, what do you know? IP address 140.103.193.66 traces back to Wooster College Ohconfucius 03:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't we be better served focusing on the facts instead of this partisan bickering? Nobody has addressed the reference seriously. --Comet20 17:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Time's almost up. Even if there is an article on this guy in that encyclopedia, I am certain such an article is not the source of material that is here. This appears to be just a pot party wasting our time--JimWae 18:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • and the only edition found by search is 1998 http://toby.library.ubc.ca/resources/infopage.cfm?id=376 --JimWae 18:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Delete as hoax. Not only is the article itself self-indicting, but the so-called reference fails to check out. There is no reference to Jakob Meils in the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy printed or online. There is no 2006 printed edition of that work. The last printed edition with that exact title was 1998 and it was ten volumes. The 2000 edition was entitled Concise Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy at 1030 p. The 2005 printed version was entitled The Shorter Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy at 1077 p. The lack of an ISBN in the Wikipedia article is suggestive of the fact that the publication is non-existent, and that is confirmed by both Routledge and Baker & Taylor. The online version currently only contains the text of the Concise version. The full online and updated version is scheduled for release later in 2007. --Bejnar 03:37, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody can prove that the Yeti doesn't beat off all the time.--Comet20 15:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
