Talk:Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff Sr.

Listen to this article
I believe the article should be re-recorded by either a German- or English-speaker, because the current recording is read in a barely intelligible Scandinavian accent and lacks diction 213.175.91.51 (talk) 11:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

What is this about this being a SF story? Slatersteven (talk) 16:05, 12 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Well it does include bizarre content about his ancestors travelling to Earth from another planet in a spaceship. Valethske (talk) 18:13, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Moving forward and editing suggestions
Since the article is to remain, I think it would be important to inject some skepticism of this man's claims about his name. As far as I can tell "Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff" was his legal name that appeared on official documents. In the 1950s he appeared on I've Got a Secret, one of the few sources available other than appearances in the Guinness Book of World Records, and he gave no indication at all that his name contained any further content beyond the article's title. This strongly suggests he adopted the dozens of forenames and mini-space-opera-surname variant rather than being given it at birth. The earliest source given by the article for this version is a greetings card he sent to somebody in 1963, for a man who had been alive for 49 years by that point surely there must be some record somewhere if it was given at birth, unless he merely adopted it during his adult life after his television appearance.

If there is a Wolfe Sr, then surely there must be a Wolfe Jnr. Is there any evidence at all his son or his father ever used the versions that ran to hundreds of characters? Valethske (talk) 13:08, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
