The scope is pretty odd, the notability of this incident is not the fictional character (who even knows her name?), but the blog and the man behind it. This should not read as a biography. FunkMonk ( talk) 10:44, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

This scandal was a long time ago, and few people are interested in it any more, but editor Joatsimeon in 2011 took great care to remove certain material showing that Tom MacMaster, the hoaxer, was held in contempt. Joatsimeon was removed, as a sockpuppet of MacMaster. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Joatsimeon/Archive Now, editor Duedemagistris is removing similar material, even calling its restoration "vandalism". I shall restore the edits showing how MacMaster was seen, and watch the page to revert any edits vandalising it by removing the material. It is relevant to the subject of the article that when MacMaster sought help getting his fiction publishd, pretending it was autobiographical, the person he sought help from found the writing narcissistic and painfully obvious. There is more on this in the Archive: Talk:Amina_Abdallah_Arraf_al_Omari/Archive_1 - Abigailgem ( talk) 10:30, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

There seem to be few sources on this. It appears that there was little ongoing effect of the hoax. Dr MacMaster does not appear from the sources still to be perpetrating such hoaxes. I started a new section: is this section worth keeping? Are there other consequences which should be added? The Electronic Intifada article says something about the University of Edinburgh investigation- are there other sources on this, and is it worth adding something about it?

I think this might be a good case to use them despite their depreciation at RFC: Electronic Intifada. Does someone disagree? FortunateSons ( talk) 12:01, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
