Likely hoax, per Pete Hurd in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islamic Studies Foundation. The books he is claimed to be the author of do not seem to exist. See also the comments by Hurd in Talk:Mark Outland debunking the other claims in the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:35, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

speedy delete per my comments at Talk:Mark Outland (note also that ISI returns no hits for "Outland *" in the Lancet, and googling "American Academy of Birth Studies" turns up this Biography and nothing else). Obvious vandalistic hoax, CSD-G3. (thanks to David for listing for me) Pete.Hurd (talk) 02:58, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Delete as per my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islamic Studies Foundation as unverifiable and almost certainly a hoax. Also, JHU appears not to have a "James Swafford" fellowship. -- Dominus (talk) 03:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
