Basilio Grillo Miceli

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I could only find one source that looked reasonable. It's in Italian, but Google Translate made me think it _might_ be applicable. I could find nothing else so WP:N doesn't seem to be met.

That said, the claims here are pretty strong so I suspect I'm missing something as I don't think this is a hoax. Hobit (talk) 18:15, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment -- This reads to me like something legitimate. However, we are probably dealing with a very small denomination.  I do not know Italian, but the content looks very like that of the Italian WP, where it is merely tagged for lack of references.  I would guess they would have detected a hoax if there was one.

 * I agree, but I can't find any way to meet WP:BIO. I'm hoping someone else can or we conclude we can't. Hobit (talk) 03:26, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The Italian and French Wikipedias are red herrings, and possibly we here are the first Wikipedia to properly scrutinize this. Notice that this article was written by, it:Basilio Grillo Miceli was written by , and fr:Basilio Grillo Miceli was written by .  (Just for completeness, the "Basilio (Grillo Miceli) of Ravenna and L'Aquila" article on OrthodoxWiki was written by the pseudonym " SicilianOrthodox".)  This is one person's unsourced multilingual contribution. Uncle G (talk) 22:27, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete There is an "Italian Autonomous Orthodox Church" but I can find no evidence that this man actually has some relationship to it. All real hits lead back to the Orthodox Church in Italy where there is little more than directory information as best I can determine. In light of BLP issues I have go for deletion.

 * The various wiki articles mentioned above point to a couple of sources, which don't actually support most of the information given here, doing little more than stating this person's name and rank. Mainly, however, they point to one another (OrthodoxWiki cites this article as its source, for example.) which is both insufficient and suspect.  I am unable to find any sources that document this person's life and works, and the multi-account writer of all of these has not pointed to adequate sourcing.  This is unverifiable.  Delete.
