Jion de Jordan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is the rationale I gave for the PROD, which was removed by an anonymous user: "Does not appear in the list of the Bibliografia elettronica dei Trovatori, and so seems most likely to be a hoax." There is not a single Wikipedia-independent reference on the internet to any person with this name, nor is there a single reference to any of the supposed songs he wrote.

 * The anonymous user is . Using this account, the recent anon, and his original IP , he has persistently added imaginary dates to the List of medieval composers and List of Renaissance composers; I blocked him for a week for persistent addition of fantasy dates without sources, and refusal to engage on any talk pages, anywhere.  This person has provided no references for anything and I am suspicious of these alleged composers who have neither entries in the New Grove nor any hits on Google -- at all.  Googling En Parabasia, which allegedly has survived with words and music, comes up empty which isn't right.  Does anyone have any source which at least shows that this person existed?

 * Delete as a hoax. Like Srnec I have googled a number of the works associated with the subject and it's true that nothing comes up. Looking at the article creator's contribution history, there seem to be some articles about genuine musicians created by him/her, however. asnac (talk) 10:37, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax, but I'll change this in an eyeblink if someone comes up with any evidence this person existed, because any documented troubadour is notable. Cmach, start providing your sources, this is not optional.  Thanks, Antandrus  (talk) 14:40, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
