No sources support the claims in the article. Can't find any relevant ghits. Possibly just a hoax. Closest thing I can find is Michael Mifsud but it seems totally unrelated except for a Maltese connection. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 15:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete It reads like a hoax. If half the stuff was true he whould certainly show up in Google.Northwestgnome (talk) 15:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete I had nominated this page as vandalism (blatant misinformation) but that was deleted by another editor. I still think it's vandalism, and should be speedily deleted. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:01, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete as probable hoax. Stifle (talk) 16:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. Every paragraph screams "hoax". — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 18:54, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - searches under the full name find nothing; searches for "Michael Mifsud" are complicated by the Maltese footballer of that name, but I have found [http://www.bordaline.co.uk/rockjottings/1217609075apoggio1.pdf one newspaper clip] which confirms that a Michael Mifsud was, not the sole founder as claimed, but one of five concerned with a "Gibraltar Group" which organized cheap air fares. It seems there is a real person, but I can't find independent reliable sources for any of the other extravagant claims, and it looks as if his career has been exaggerated to the point of hoax; for instance, the term [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22Thatcher%27s+Spymaster%22&btnG=Google+Search&meta= Thatcher's Spymaster] finds only this article. It is beyond belief that so sensational a career would have left no verifiable traces. If all the unverified claims were removed there would not be enough left for an article that met Notability (people). JohnCD (talk) 11:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment. On the basis of e-mails received, I can confirm that it is this Michael Mifsud who "owns about 501 other domains". — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 12:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
