Probable hoax; organization does not exist White 720 (talk) 16:07, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete — From [https://theathletic.com/4004985/2022/12/16/qatar-world-cup-fake/ this article], the "British Middle East Center for Studies and Research" is a fake organization made by Amjad Taha in an attempt to legitimize the posting of Taha's misinformation online. Its web site is unresponsive and, when pressed for information about it, Taha admitted to The Athletic that the BMCSR has no street address and no employees other than himself. This article, mentioned by The Athletic, does not cite any sources to verify the legitimacy of the organization. White 720 (talk) 16:10, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete as above. The hoax was so bad he couldn't even be bothered to research the correct British English spelling of "centre"! -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:12, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
