[edit] Oleg of Moravia
The article is a spoof by user:Nixer, whose inclinations for trolling are well known. No such person is recorded in prime sources. Please delete mystification. --Ghirla | talk 10:40, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as nominator. As an aside, anyone with a slightest knowledge of mediaeval prosopography may certify that children were never given the same name as their parents at that time. If both guys are named Oleg, it is the best evidence that they are not father and son. --Ghirla | talk 10:40, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Keep in the Russian version of the article there is a reference to Богуславский В.В. Славянская энциклопедия. Киевская Русь - Московия: в 2 т. - М.: Олма-Пресс, 2001, that sounds reasonably solid. If there is a version about his existance, the subject is probably encyclopedic enough abakharev 11:21, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- And so? Numerous second-hand compilations are being published all the time, replete with misleading fake genealogies. No medaeival source mentions this guy. If you think that Boguslavsky is a source to be reckoned with, you should have written "Oleg is a person invented by obscure Mr Boguslavsky". Not every speculation that is written on paper or on toilet wall is notable enough to be reproduced in encyclopedia. --Ghirla | talk 11:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Let's see if better sources acknowledging Oleg's existence or non-existence would be unearthed during the AfDabakharev 12:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

- Delete Unless Oleg fled after his own death, in which case that would be notable. Ruby 12:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete nonsense. --Terence Ong 12:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Seems like WP:NFT but in any case unlikely and unverified. If a source appears, can be recreated.Obina 23:59, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
