[edit] Richard_Strehle

Delete. This page is an obvious prank. There is no fighter named Richard Strehle with the credentials and fight history listed here. No fighter named Richard Strehle has ever fought in King of the Cage(Which has never been held in Philadelphia by the way. The article also indicates he's married to Ladanian Tomlinson, the NFL Running back. Drivel. 68.193.78.229 04:00, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Fails Google test with ~85 hits [1] (including Wikipedia entry and Answers.com mirror). Page contains false information (as noted by nom), fails to establish sufficient notability, and is most likely vanity. --Alan Au 08:32, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete vanity, nonsense. Sherdog.com has never heard of a fighter with a last name of Strehle. MLA 15:23, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: See here - he does seem to be a martial arts fighter? I don't think he's notable for Wikipedia, but I don't know the sport. -- Mithent 20:13, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: He may be a martial arts fighter, but numerous things in the article are clearly false beyond what is already mentioned. There is no Northeastern Martial Arts Association. Nor is there an East Stroudsboug State University. Also, Ritler Gracie is clearly a joke as all Gracie first names start with R, but are pronounced like an H. So the pronounciation of the name would be "Hitler Gracie". I'm also not aware of a Pennsylvannia Top Team, although there is a small chance it may actually exist. Finally, Mixed martial arts events are not legal in PA so the existence of a NMAA’s Philadelphia Fire 7 event is unlikely.

• Delete as nonsense.Blnguyen 00:05, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, sherdog.com has no listing for him, and has no record of him ever facing let along beating Stephan Bonnar as the page claims. Definite nonsense. VegaDark 08:30, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've fought this slippery fellow on more than one occasion, and even went 52 rounds with him on a barge off Sao Paulo! He is a worthy opponent and a man whom the MMA world needs to learn more about. Don't be so quick to seize another man's legacy. I think your votes should be repealled unless you've actually stepped into a ring. RitlerGracie 20:26, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Obvious sockpuppet. The votes on this page were vandalised. I reverted to this version which is the last one that wasn't vandalised and it contains the sockpuppet vote from RitlerGracie. MLA 09:58, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. I reverted another fraudulent misrepresentation as above.Blnguyen 23:16, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as nn-bio. I've tagged it as such (and reverted the page while I was at it, which had been changed by the anon IP again). Turnstep 02:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete complete bollocks. Claims notability, even if it is clearly a hoax. I'd love to nuke it but probably shouldn't Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 00:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
