The result was speedy redirect. Just realised I could redirect to the videogame. (non-admin closure)  SITH   (talk)   19:24, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Jon Jarl

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Hoax. The book which he apparently is mentioned in contains no mention of a "Jon Jarl". Link to English translation. Four other people by the name "Jon" and permutations thereof are mentioned but they are all historically distinct figures. Furthermore, a character by this name exists in a videogame (1, 2) and there are no mentions of such a historical figure existing in WorldCat, JSTOR, Wiley or Dawesonera. Furthermore, the article claims Jon Jarl was buried in Linkoping Cathedral but the only recorded burial of a "Jon", "John", "Johnathan", "Jonathan" or "Johannes" at that cathedral is John, Duke of Östergötland. It is for these reasons I think this is a hoax.  SITH   (talk)   19:22, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
