• Delete: probably a hoax and certainly unverifiable. The case Philip Baird Shearer describes, while a genuine case of someone being killed using a rug, bears little resemblance to the act described in the article: the historical case involved the victim being rolled in a rug and trampled to death by horses, while the article describes beating people to death actually with a rolled-up rug. — Haeleth Talk 18:54, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• delete article. Even if Philip recreates it (though he should preferably use a different name), better not to have the history polluted with hoax material. Mozzerati 23:37, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
