Delete I believe that this article is a hoax, and if it isn't then it is totally non-notable. I can find nothing anywhere else to indicate that Hans Adolf Von Hindennburg existed. I can find no evidence of the existence of either of the works cited as sources. I cannot even find evidence of the existence of either of the supposed authors of the two works cited. In addition to this, even if the information in the article is true and can be sourced (which I doubt) it does not seem to me to indicate much significance of the man. I shall therefore tag the article for speedy deletion under CSD A7, but I am also making this AfD nomination in case the speedy deletion is declined. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:17, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment While I agree that it looks very much like a hoax - not having found any evidence to the contrary anywhere (although this could be 'cos we're both looking through the same online sources) - I must take issue with the above "even if the information in the article is true and can be sourced". If it can be reliably sourced, it is notable by Wikipedia standards.--Technopat (talk) 10:26, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see that. The nearest there is to a claim of significance is "Hindennburg is most renound for his avid support of Socrates and the development on this line of thought." However, there is nothing to indicate whether he published his views on Socrates, whether anyone took any notice of his views, or anything else to establish notability. In fact everything in the article, if true, is entirely consistent with his having been a completely unnotable philosophy graduate who happened to know Nietzsche.
