Talk:Alan Mcilwraith

2329:. I feel it's also worth mentioning that Mcilwraith created the article about himself specifically so he could achieve recognition and notoriety, and his later activities show this to be a major part of his personality disorder. By keeping the article about him, we are not necessarily shaming him (which is itself not a valid reason to keep an article), but rather playing right into his hands. Any attention is good attention to someone like this. I would like to have a discussion about this before I recommend the article for deletion. 264: 243: 364: 343: 374: 173: 155: 124: 21: 2374:. I have already had several articles about military phonies successfully deleted this month because they fail notability, including those that, unlike Mcilwraith, were convicted in course of law for there deceptions. I'm not defending these individuals, but rather attempting to uphold the policies of this wiki. Knowledge (XXG) is not a 183: 538: 657:

Yes, they actually stopped him - it never occured to me that someone would try to pull such a weak fake in real life, rather than just over the safety of the internet, and in that I congratulate them. But why pretend that we only just noticed?

For a while now there has been folk wasting time reverting there and back again with an external link...

It might be 100% accurate technically, but it is also very easy to read incorrect inferrences.

I don't think the vandalism has reached the point where it's necessary to semi-protect the article. We appear to have one rather obnoxious anonymous user editing from 75.24.* but that's about it as far as serious vandalism is concerned. I suggest we leave it a day or two longer to see if the problem

This article had no history until it was unprotected and therefore the Guardian and others didn't have access to the information we do now, with Average Earthman spotting the original hoax within a few days; hence the problem came out of the way the article had been protected to hide its history, ie

Dunno why it hit the news today - from the Daily Record articles, it looks like he annoyed his co-workers to the point they started digging themselves.

Why slag off the Daily Record? How many Internet users would do a search on a Sir Alan Mcilwraith when the original entry was live? You guys only deleted a fake entry. Well done, but Knowledge (XXG) does this everyday. A Knowledge (XXG) fake yes. However would anyone have known how far he went with

Which is not the same as a speedy. it clearly doesn't meet the requirements for a speedy. You have the freedom to put an Afd on the article, though I for one would strongly oppose. Why not try to improve the article as the state of the sarticle should not be a factor in the Afd, what counts is his

Agreed - as long as Alan Mcilwraith isn't allowed to write it this time ;) . Not only is it a notable example of fakery (real live Walter Mittys) but it is interesting from a Knowledge (XXG) point of view as he tried to use it to forge his history and I think that angle needs exploring and I think

Guys, Alan had a 2nd entry in Feb 2006 I believe, which was similar to the October 2005 entry. Nobody who worked with him knew about the original entry that contained the UN Speech, the apparent intervention to stop an act of terrorism in London and last but not least the Sandhurst yarn about the

This should be kept up as it resulted in exposing two jokes for the price of one - McIlwraith, but also the Daily Retard, who tried to pass off as an "exclusive" something that's been available to all for free over the last 6 months. It's typical of that rag, fleecing others work off the net &

1511:
The "celebrities" categories are the standard Knowledge (XXG) cats for people who just do not fit into any other "occupation" categories, as is the case with Mcilwraith. I do not think that we should be making policy on the hoof on this one article: if people have concerns about the naming of all

There are separate categories for Scottish actors, Scottish musicians, Scottish television presenters, Scottish sportspeople, etc." 1343:
It is a pity that some people are still trying to get this article removed. Alan Mcilwraith is worth a brief Knowledge (XXG) article due the amount of media coverage that the case has received, and also because a hoax Knowledge (XXG) article was involved at one point. This article has survived a

After a look through the early page history of the article, it became clear that the saga was not confined to a few edits in October 2005. The article was online for most of December 2005, and was still available after requests for speedy deletion in February 2006, when a template protected the

Regardless of what some people think of the Daily Record, their information was 100% accurate in this case. If he wasn't rumbled by the press, Sir Alan would have continued his creepy life and who knows where it would end? If Dell or any of his employers in the past found out, he would have been

He put it up at 10:53 and it was marked as nonsense at 10:55. That isn't exactly a huge amount of time. He must have put it up and printed it out immediately. If they'd looked him up on Knowledge (XXG) they'd have seen he thought he was a fake (or at least wondered why the article was no longer

Alan McIlwraith is a complete hoaxer, but he is now a famous hoaxer, since he's featured in national newspapers. Should his fame (or infamy) entitle him to a wikipedia page, or should it be suppressed because he's an idiot? I don't have an answer, just throwing it out for conjecture.

The current version of the article doesn't meet CSD criteria as far as I can tell. The contents appear accurate and the press url's speak toward notability. I don't know if the article should stay but I think it needs to be decided through another AfD.

Most of the article is created from newspaper material that was available when the story broke in 2006. There are no major problems with the accuracy of the article, but some tweaking to the references and the addition of inline citations would help.

This is an interesting point, but unless Alan Mcilwraith specifically denies having written the October 5 2005 entry and someone else comes forward and claims to have written it, it will have to be assumed that he wrote it himself.

I think it's a better idea to misout the category - Alan Mcilwraith is not a celeb under any meaning of the word! IF you stopped 50 people in Glasgow and 50 in Edinburgh, how many do you think could tell you who he is?
