• Delete per nom. DarthVader 11:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as possible hoax. Kimchi.sg 12:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Have asked a couple of Hungarian speakers to check out the source and comment. JackyR 16:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete, there seems not to be enough information to include it in WP:BIO. I am willing to change my vote if resources other than the author' site are found. -- ReyBrujo 18:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. Arbusto 23:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. No evidence to suggest a hoax: some evidence it isn't: 1997 blog comment on Szultan and Köves József's A griff-licenc. Think original spelling is Szultan. If bio is true, then mildly notable. More references, please! NB References do not have to be online: printed Hungarian sources are OK.JackyR 00:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Definitely not a hoax. I myself haven't known about this 1997 blog comment on the work. I wish I could find the blogger and get to know his sources. He talks about homosexuality and it's effects on society, and brings up Köves and Soultan's work as an example that satirically brings a solution to repopulating the nation. He also mentions that he chose his user name honoring Soultan. I guess, he is a fan too. Yes, indeed, the original spelling is Szultán Alfréd. The griff-licence was printed under that name. As I read it in the press release a few years ago, the movie version will have the English sounding name on it already. I just received an original print of his Dawning Aurora "Derengő Hajnal" which is also in Hungarian. I requested the copy from a Hungarian theatre. I suggest all that voted for deletion check out the facts before destroying my work with the page. I have researched two living Hungarian writers so far. I am doing a third article. I am trying to include people that are overlooked and not appreciated enough. "NB References do not have to be online: printed Hungarian sources are OK". Tamas Keresztes 03:10, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Keresztes' other two en.wiki articles are: Jozsef Koves and István Fekete, the latter of whom has a well-established hu.wiki article. JackyR 15:42, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment. And a third one about Vera Filo. Tamas Keresztes 16:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment. I've looked into Hungarian references to Szultán Alfréd. I am convinced that he is not a hoax; however, I am not at all convinced that he meets our criteria for notability. I will abstain on this one. --Ashenai 09:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
