Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas Crane
Every single mention of him I can find on Google is a direct copy of the WP article. It is even quoted verbatim in http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=12cB_XaXEH0C&pg=PA235&lpg=PA235&dq=Lt+Thomas+Crane&source=bl&ots=thhsGAbF3t&sig=c2rbpYSdWc87coO0BDFP5FiMKz8&hl=en&ei=aMnvTN_5GMq5hAef97H2Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CC4Q6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q&f=false Convicting: Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases. As far as I can see, the whole thing is based on one single mention of Thomas Crane in the book referenced in the article. In the absence of any other sources, it fails . As an aside, the comment at the bottom of the article about his alias seems highly dubious to me
