[edit] Baron pluroon

Apparent hoax, not very amusing though. Names don't google, and I don't think there were any Prussian territories in the Congo in 1704. Kappa 00:58, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete Better than 90% probability this is a hoax. I can't find any reference to any name or event mentioned. Wyss 01:23, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - fictional, non-historic events. (Quick history lesson, BTW - they held the Gold Coast in modern Ghana and an island off, I think, Mauritania in that period; nowhere else, really, until they'd become Germany in the late c19th. The really surprising colonial power was Courland, just up the Baltic coast from them, though...) Shimgray 01:42, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: The contributor tossed a welter of Prussian-themed articles all at the same time, and they looked fishy. He or she also wrote Otto von Ziechtzel, although in that article it was "March to the Sea" and not "March through the Sea." Shimgray, is that one bunk too? Geogre 04:43, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Looks like nonsense to me; "a war that devestated southern Prussia in the late c17th" is more than plausible, the Swedes and the Poles were all over the place then, but I've never heard of this "spiritual leader", historical overviews don't back it up, and the Congo thing is certainly bunk. Fails the sniff test, I'd say. Shimgray 16:53, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. If the experts say it's a hoax, I'll go along with them. P Ingerson 23:58, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
