Jan Sołtanowicz

As noted some time ago on WikiProject Poland, the series of articles on the Sołtanowicz family by Potocki (talk · contribs) is likely a hoax. Existence of those individuals cannot be verified (despite them being claimed as notable - poet, writer, etc.), with only refs being a suspicious genealogy page for the family (and even that is not true for most of those). It appears some of the article that user has created have already been deleted (ex. Mateusz Sołtanowicz), other - prodded (ex. Prince Dmitriy Zakhanenko, suspected as another hoax). So far the only responce by the creator has been to remove AfD notices and blank talk page comments. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:17, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for failing to be verifiable. Edison (talk) 21:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
no go - a bridge too far. The author needs to provide better or rather any independent sources, if these exist, to establish notability of this fellow Jan Soltaniewicz, the fourth in the row of the dynasty. Advise also to delete the other Soltaniwicz' articles, with the only exception of the Bolesław Sołtanowicz article for now, but even in that case the English Wikipedia needs something to verify the provided data as per WP:V. Side note to its creator: that article would never be challenged as per WP:AGF if it was left alone, but now after this Soltaniewicz dynasty overkill, even that one looks suspicious. greg park avenue (talk) 02:08, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and even our Bolesław is suspicious. His book is unknown. You'd think that somebody who translated a Bible would be better known. And oh, references cited - don't exist: [1], [2]. No, this is a hoax - above average ones, ones that would make good characters in alternate history pedia or something like this, but certainly not the right additions to a our project.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 05:18, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. "Prince Zakharenko" is most certainly a hoax and should follow suit. --Ghirla^-трёп- 07:00, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
