[edit] Bogus article?

I believe this article is false. There are no info on google, no wikilinks in it.wiki, de.wiki and fr.wiki. --Square87 09:06, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree, this person doesn't exist anywhere else on the web, if he was a sugnificant victim of discrimination against homosexuals he would probably appear elsewhere. His name is suspicious and the translation of the Italian regarding his punishment sounds like it wasn't translated at all but made up by someone who thought they knew how people spoke during that period by mimicking 18th century English. --Seth J.

I assume you have checked the referenced book out of the library and found the information to be missing from it as well? Haiduc 10:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Regardless, this article lacks notability I think. The dubious nature of the article, plus the fact that this book is the only place he seems to be mentioned (I looked on google, yahoo, book search, etc and found nada as well) makes it deletion fodder I think. in any case, the lack of any sort of placing of him anywhere on the web suggests he's barely a footnote and certainly not notable enough for his own article regardless of whether it's fake or not. One reference in an obscure book is not enough to establish notability. I'm going to prod it. --Lendorien 15:53, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Take a look at Google books: [1] - there are at least three books there that refer to GdG, which satisfies WP:N. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 07:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Wonder how I missed that. Hmmm. well, I'm satisfied then. --Lendorien 17:25, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
