Silon

 * — (View AfD)

This article is apparently fiction. Nothing links to it, and the topic does not appear anywhere. The original author is anonymous and has not responded to an earlier proposal to delete the article. Paul 14:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:BOLLOCKS. "The Athenian lawmaker Solon, for instance, owes his name partly to Silon: Solon's mother hoped her newborn son would display the qualities of the famed Greek hero, but a typo on the birth certificate resulted in the Athenian's more recognizable name."

 * Delete per above, apparently part of a pattern of unreferenced junk and hoaxes that are leaking into articles on ancient Greece, see also Articles for deletion/Maeoniae. Tubezone 15:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The article mixes Doctor Who, Dragonball Z, and Classical Greek mythology, and is clearly a hoax. Delete. Uncle G 15:32, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete The article does not even pretend to be serious. The Greeks had typos? Does not really even qualify as BJAODN &mdash; Falerin&lt;talk&gt;,&lt;contrib&gt; 19:44, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Fang Aili talk 20:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, utter balls. Google search turns up about 40 hits for +silon +"greek mythology", and nothing asserts that Silon was even the name of the greek equivalent of a plebian.  --Dennisthe2 01:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
