Seems to be well-sourced (and is), but Kenneth Alan Turing does not come up in any searches, and while he MAY have been a scientist involved in high-level areas of work, but this is unknown, and probably just a vanity article. The searches DO turn up an "Alan Turing", but they do not seem to be one and the same. Jmlk17 06:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I can't find anything in Google and Ask. None of the references or links on the page mention his name. --ZacBowlingtalk 06:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - mmmm. tastes hoaxalicious--Jayron32|talk|contribs 06:08, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I can't out-and-out say that this is fake, but it certainly has the feel of a hoax about it. Lankiveil (talk) 06:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- Delete WP:HOAX. --Brewcrewer (talk) 07:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, fails WP:V as well as the smell test. Sounds like a background for a comics villain. Probably some kind of WP:COATRACK for Echelon. ("They do not seem to be one and the same." D'ya think?) --Dhartung | Talk 08:12, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. References included demonstrate no notability for the article's subject.--Michig (talk) 09:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: unverifiable, none of the cites given support this person's existence, zero Google hits for name, looks like a probable WP:HOAX. -- The Anome (talk) 10:04, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: I just deleted all of the questionable, unreferenced claims as per WP:BLP, and nothing is left in the article. Sancho 11:33, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete Previous version looked like a hoax. Current version fails to establish notability. Hammer1980·talk 11:52, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Junk. Nick mallory (talk) 12:18, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Speedy deleting, as article is no longer about subject, after WP:BLP procedures have been applied. -- The Anome (talk) 15:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
