[edit] Manlow

Unverified material. anon user:82.210.117.215 raises reasonable questions of accuracy at Talk:Manlow. Claims are 'suspicious' unless supporting evidence can be found. e.g. widely believed among theorists [apparently historians]... no actual evidence... I have trouble accepting reputatable scholars would widely believe something without any actual evidence. Possible hoax. (Google ineffective in such cases.) Propose delete unless can be verified.

• Delete. Unverifiable. Jkelly 05:20, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, likely hoax. A search on Google with the string "Manlow Holland" returns a Wikipedia hit, & lots about Barry Manlow & Eric Manlow in Holland, but nothing about this family, royal or otherwise. The original contributor made two other edits, neither of which inspire confidence in this material. Were I 99% sure that this was a hoax I'd label this as a Speedy delete, but I'm only 85-90% sure. -- llywrch 18:37, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - I looked on the last page. The butler did it! Qaz ^(talk) 05:16, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete Absolutely a hoax. There's no such thing. Check out the index from Jonathon Israel's absolutely masterful survey and you'll see it passes from Mandeville to Mansfeld. Dottore So 06:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as patent nonsense. Aecis 15:56, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

For more on the above: this is a list of all Dutch noble families. Aecis 19:37, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
