Ciaran McAleer

• No hits on Google for "Ciaran McAleer" "botanist". Not notable, or as is more likely, a hoax article. The photograph is also suspicious. Cyr has also created Giles Ashford, which is in much the same vein. Delete. --khaosworks 20:23, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Even if he/she were a real person, the article has no content. Bushytails 20:19, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this page and the photograph (under the out-of-focus criterion). --Angr 21:10, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I can find no evidence of a Ciaran McAleer being a notable botanist, and even if they were, the photo is clearly nothing to do with this at all and is the work of a vandal. Average Earthman 23:33, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Article needs more content, but there is no evidence to suggest that it is a hoax, apart from the photo
• Keep. Could the original poster comment?

Both "Keep" votes by the same user, and only contribution. Possible sockpuppet. --khaosworks 12:36, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
