Hoax. (Compare Special:Whatlinkshere/Charlie_Dodd and also Tiffin Boys' School. The dates don't match (the school opened in 1880), and the image cries hoax, too.) Delete unless verified. Lupo 09:57, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Shall we start with the poll tax? Obviously, Dodd was not a pioneer of the poll tax because he supposedly lived in the 1800s while the poll tax is from the middle ages. Otherwise, I wasn't able to verify any of the info, and had it been true it should have been easy to do so. I think we can safely say this article is a complete fabrication.

- Delete per above. Dottore So 16:04, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Do not delete-I have put in correct dates corresponding to when he lived. Somebody had been lying, he never went to Tiffin school but he was minister on the council of leicester. I can't verify if he was minister of transport but he was on the council. P.s He did not die from liver failure, that is somebodies idea of a "joke". Grabbo
- Comment I cannot confirm Mr.Dodd's attendance at any particular School, nor Tiffin Boys' Schoool. However, having a flatmate that Studied in Leicester, who worked part-time in the House of Records, I can confirm that Mr.Dodd is indeed mentioned as being on the council for at least 2 terms, I am planning a trip to Leicester soon, and shall post my findings on his status as Minister for Transport. Dupe
- Comment reverted vandalism on this vote. -- Sliggy 17:50, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I can find no reference to this person as described in the (revised) article, and there is suspiciously little detail about the "drastic railway reforms" introduced by Mr. Dodd. Sliggy 18:32, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No Google hits on "Charlie Dodd" + "Minister of Transport". - Andre Engels 08:16, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
