Sending this to AfD rather than speedy or prop'd because if I'm seeing this correctly I'd like to recommend not just deletion but salting. Not only can I find no references myself via Google News/Books/Web for teh person (other than WP mirrors, etc.) but of the sources shown, the ones I can search via Google Books also do not include the name of the author. Looking at the article history, it was created and largely maintained by two accounts that have edited only this article and articles linking to it, at least a COI, but quite possibly part of the hoax I believe this to be. Looking at the talk page for the original author, I see an indication that it was marked for speedy deletion because of G4 (prior deletion), I don't know if that was AfD or what. Looking at the article on the company that the article claims the subject was an investor in, I see that George Martin's partner in building that company was someone with an entirely different name.

Anyway, I think it's not just an unsourcable article, but an unsourcable and likely hoax article that to all appearences has been deleted at least twice in the past. j⚛e decker ^talk 16:07, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I have checked the deleted article George Anaghwilliam, and it's indeed largely the same ... except for a different year (but same day) of birth. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Delete and salt. Clearly a hoax. The "sources" listed in the article have nothing to do with its purported subject, and none of the google searches turn out anything relevant and verifiable. Nsk92 (talk) 06:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
The last claimed reference (which is an URL and not a book) nowhere mentions "Charles Anaghwilliam". That alone is enough for me: Speedy delete as a hoax and re-creation of a deleted article, and protect. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 08:56, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
