Matthew Herzfeld

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete. I have never heard of this philosopher who is supposedly a "central figure" in the Enlightenment. Google results are unhelpful in verifying or that of his. Prod tag removed without comment by article author. ... disco spinster   talk  16:31, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete – Could find no information or mention in my Google Scholar search, where you would believe that at least have a mention of Mr. Herzfeld, as shown here . Likewise, I was able to access one of the reference books shown in the article “Radical Enlightenment: Philosophy and the Making of Modernity”and listed here .  Sorry to say I could find no reference to Mr. Herzfeld in the journal.  Noticing that it was supposedly a stub article from our sister site in Germany I searched our German site with no results, as shown here .  Without even at least one verifiable source, must go with delete. ShoesssS Talk 17:03, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to be a hoax as all hits on the name point at a kid in Shaker Heights. Mangoe (talk) 17:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Neither ref appears to have anything on him, nor do searches under Herzfeld or Hertzfeld and first name variants give anything. Almost certainly a hoax.John Z (talk) 18:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax. Edward321 (talk) 01:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
