- Barack Obama: The Caucasian Conspiracy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
This article appears to be a hoax. American Spectator has NO such article listed in its June 2008 archives; the publisher of the supposed book does not even exist; and the reference to Kennedy's and Obama's shared ailment pointed to an article having nothing to do with either. In all this appears to be a quack's attempt to introduce a conspiracy theory with the guise of credibilty. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating the following article as the author of the above-mentioned hoax book:
- Warner Slocum (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:58, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Delete. Has no mention on Google and does appear to be a hoax. TopGearFreak 16:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Claims to be a book but there seem to be no reference of it online, no ISDN number, (maybe because it has not been released yet?), The link given to the book [1] returns a 404 page and the Barack Obama does not even mention it. The external link also does not really seem to have much to do with the subject, (apart from conspiracies in general). FFMG (talk) 16:24, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete both, the first as unverifiable crystalballery, and second for lack of reliable sources establishing notability. I wish I could know what the second reference says, but it is a dead link; the first source says nothing about Warner Slocum, Caucasians, or any sort of "conspiracy."

- Delete as an obvious coatrack for racist conspiracy theory nonsense. Arguably speedy for BLP problems - it is arguably an attack page. AlexTiefling (talk) 16:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Clear hoax. No sources provided (none that mention the topic, that is), none found. I like a good nut-job conspiracy as much as anyone else, but this is weak. - SummerPhD (talk) 20:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - And, when we're done here, someone want to tag that account for creatind hoaxes? -
