0 google hits for "Perelecles". Clearly bogus. Born December 14? Did they get that off his birth certificate by any chance? Too bad only 10 of his poems are "alive" today. -R. fiend 20:35, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * Delete Can't see any obvious candidates of who this may be. Probably fictional, and if not then non-notable. Jongarrettuk 21:32, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete unless verified. Probably a hoax. &bull; Benc &bull; 22:27, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete Patent nonsense. Bill 22:28, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Further note: more extensive googling turned up zilch. Tried looking for this "the silver star" poem that's allegedly in a museum in California and got nothing. This user also has a history of vandalism. I don't think a single contribution has been legitimate. I'm calling this patent nonsense; should we make it a speedy? The IP who made this perhaps should be blocked too. -R. fiend 23:12, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. Hoax.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 01:49, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Illiteracy. It's either Pericles or Paracelsus or some hoax whereby we're supposed to mistake it for one of these.  I can find a Perilla, daughter of Ovid, a Perillus, an Athenian artificer, and that's it.  Geogre 21:10, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. In the past when stuff like this has come up, I've made attempts to verify it, but this is so illiterate that I'm not going to bother researching this "famous poet writer". Gamaliel 21:14, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - Jealousy. I wish I knew how to write poets. ClockworkTroll 06:31, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
