Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William d. middle brook
This article is not about the paperclip inventor, but about the alleged inventor of the pencil. Seeing as early pencil-like instruments date back as far as ancient Rome, graphite pencils dating to the 1660's, and Hymen Lipman being the inventor of the pencil with eraser we know today. This is a |hoax (and a badly written one at that). Likely |made up at school for some sort of report seeing as the creation of the article is the creator's sole edit on Wikipedia (and the poor writing). In any case it has no place on Wikipedia
