Jeremy Stribling

Short article about a college student who got some minor media attention last month for hoaxing a computer science conference. Apparently not notable enough to warrant any links. The hoax itself might be worth an article that this name could redirect to, but right now it doesn't have one. Eliot 20:06, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Neither the hoax nor the hoaxer is encyclopedic. -- BD2412 ^talk 21:38, 2005 May 30 (UTC)

• The hoax was fairly notable, and in fact was somewhat significant. However, since there's no article on the conference nor its parent organization, and no established name for the hoax, the relevant part of the content should be merged to some article like Academic hoaxes or Hoaxes in computing. Mr. Stribling probably does not merit an article, as most of the coverage was about his computer program rather than about him, but the name should be a redirect to whatever article gets the hoax writeup. By the way: I see a number of article on VfD that read as if they were written by Stribling's program. Is he playing here? Barno 21:00, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
