Doni Kochev

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm unable to find sources, facts and anything else about a person named Doni Kochev from the late 19th century, despite claimed as famous. I also looked up the name in Bulgarian (Дони Кочев) and even coupling this name with the years of birth and death gives me nothing. Google Books provides a result to a book published in 2010 (initially published in 1989) called A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East by David Fromkin that could have a mention to this supposed person; they can't let me search the mention in the book in GB. In possible scenarios, if the person's mention in the book is uncited or cites Wikipedia, or the person's completely absent, then the article must likely be a hoax.

 * Delete. It's a hoax.  — Toдor Boжinov — 08:48, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Contains the classic "Little is known about...". Created by an SPA, blanked once by an SP IP, otherwise virtually only bots have edited it. Not a 'blatant' hoax for me - they are supposed to stand out as such without great digging. However, I would say it's a hoax all right. Especially as Karlovo was part of the Principality of Bulgaria from 1878 (when Kochev was four), when the war of liberation ended. Which government is supposed to have executed him is unclear from the article. Peridon (talk) 17:42, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as speedily as possible as HOAX. Quis separabit?  19:43, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per everyone above. His revolutionary group has no article, and neither does the referenced newspaper. Since "little is known about the childhood of Doni", I would expect there to be SOMETHING about the groups he worked with, if I am to believe that he, individually, is significant. Google also yields nothing. Either a hoax or someone not notable enough for an entry. Upjav (talk) 21:52, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Among other facts noted above, no references exist for "Bobi Georgiev" and his supposed revolutionary organization. Appears to be a long-lived hoax. Calamondin12 (talk) 17:34, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
