I can't find anything on Google about these two that can't be traced back to this article, and that includes Google Books and the Google News Archive. The two links in the article have nothing on these two. I'm really thinking this is a hoax, but considering the article has been around for more than three years, I'm really hoping I am wrong.

- I think you're right. The image accompanying the article, File:Fredric_Croix_and_Quickslide_Rick.jpg, is putatively from the 1920s (as it would have to be it it were genuine), but contains metadata indicating it was taken on June 15, 2005 with a Sony DSC-P52.

- That's a great point as well, thanks Andrew. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 17:54, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Almost certainly a hoax, in view of the references which don't mention them; but in any case, per WP:V we can't keep this without some reliable source, and the only Ghits are obvious mirrors. JohnCD (talk) 20:57, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
