Article suspected of being a hoax. Referenced to 'Koran and Bible'. Improbable story of an agent. Nothing relevant on Google. Written in Croatian or Serbian - Croatian works for translation. Peridon (talk) 11:18, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I stopped short of calling it a hoax and speedying it because the Google translation could have just been completely terrible. But based on the translation of the article at a stage where an IP user had added material to it that was in the same vein (which someone reverted for some reason, without explanation, as though the addition was more problematic than the origin content!), he was born in Tel Aviv, but somehow wound up in a German concentration camp even though it also says he moved to Germany after the war. Then there's the business of having killed "10512 thousand" [sic] Nazis and of having gone to 17 high schools (one of which he is now attending at the age of 85) and of being in love with a first-grader 70 years his junior. If someone who can read Croatian confirms that this is nonsense, speedy would be nice. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:07, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Killing 10512 would be hard enough for a single operator. I don't know what the world record is for personal killing without using aids like weapons of mass destruction or having a large staff to marshal the victims into line. I also find that his professional soccer career ending before the war as being doubtful - as in 1939 he would have been all of 11. Mossad didn't exist until 1949. The story gets worse - our subject is now meeting Hitler three times, killing him in 1945 (when Gnus would have been 17). This is heading rapidly for speedy land.

 * BTW I removed a chunk of poetry as copyvio based on the date of birth before I looked closer at the thing. If this is genuine, that removal is valid. If not, it goes anyway... Peridon (talk) 14:19, 13 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment The article is written in so-called 'trimmed latin' Serbian (using only ASCII characters) and it's obviously hoax made out by user. For instance, 'the article' says 'he was born in 1928 etc. and he attended 8 high schools by now and he is currently attending Third Belgrade gymnasium (...) he killed 11000 Nazis in WW2 to get his revange, he is currently in a relationship with 15-year-old girl despite their 70 years difference... Obviously nonsense, vandalism and hoax. I proposed the article for speedy deletion.  Alex discussion ★ 15:16, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * And references are: "kuran i biblija", which means: "Quran and Bible". I think an admin could warn the user and notify him that these kind of jokes aren't funny. Regards.  Alex discussion ★ 15:22, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * He's stopped editing it - and he's probably got the message now from his user page. Whoever deletes it will probably leave a warning. If they don't, I will. Peridon (talk) 15:56, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
