[edit] Benedict de Boithor

nn Polish nobleman, only one account supposedly, the source of which is not included. Zero Google hits. User:Zoe|^(talk) 06:23, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete some sort of hoax Renata3 14:10, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Just because there's only one account of his existence doesn't mean it's not true. I would expect that noblemen from 1458 have a very bad Google presence. People like this are better verified using books and paper archives.- Mgm|^(talk) 15:11, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. How can we verify this is no source is cited. - Dalbury (talk) 16:04, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Searching on Google Print reveals the source for this article: it's a paraphrase of a section of Raymond McNally's In Search of Dracula. McNally does not appear to cite a specific source for this anecdote, and I really don't think a single unsourced anecdote from a book on a tangential subject is adequate for an article on a supposedly historical figure. Therefore this may be considered unverifiable, and should be deleted. — Haeleth Talk 18:05, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. This article is taken from [[1]] and may be a copy vio of [2]. FWIW Amazon.com returned 29 cites in response to a search on Benedict de Boithor.--FRS 19:14, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete if this person was a genuine Polish nobleman, and not just an apocryphal figure in a legend about Dracula, there would be more evidence for his existence. PatGallacher 01:18, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
