Guilląme Sebastian Furrét

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

As Guilląme Furrét, this was deleted twice as a hoax in September 2008, and salted; but in April 2009 it came back with the middle name added. User has now tagged this one as a hoax, with commentary on the talk page. I have added on the talk page searches which show no Scholar or Books hits, and nothing in Worldcat; nor can I find any trace of the works cited as sources, nor of the "Encyclopedia of Portuguese Drama" which the author (who has no unrelated edits) cites in his indignant complaint about the first deletion. It may be significant that the title of Furrét's great drama, Gracejos em Você, translates (according to Google) as The joke's on you. JohnCD (talk) 16:48, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - in addition to the issues noted above, I'll add that the orthography of the name seems calculated to simulate Portuguese orthography, rather than being authentic in any way. "Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative." -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:05, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as blatant hoax (WP:CSD). The letter ą does not occur in Portuguese – and the equivalent of the given name William, French Guillaume, is Guilherme. The name "Furrét" does not occur in the Portuguese Wikipedia; the closest are references to the pokemon Furret. Furthermore, I think this remorseless vandalism-only account must be indef-blocked. --Lambiam 23:14, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
