I came across this page while new page patrolling. The article claims the subject, an actor, won two apparently prestigious awards called the "Artes Awards", but I can't find any relevant google hits for either "ike jacobs" or "artes awards". Since then, the article creator has added that Jacobs is the sole survivor of a plane crash. It looks like a hoax to me. Liqudluck✽talk 01:21, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• G3 "In 2004, Jacobs was involved in a plane crash in which he was the only survivor. There were 192 people aboard. He put his survival down to being in the correct part of the plane. He was seated on the wing. The plane landed in the atlantic ocean." Really? Then why isn't that listed here? Speedy this thing. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 03:28, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
