This article appears to be a hoax. I have been unable to find coverage about Cristóbal de Entizne in a Google News Archive search and a Google Books search.

== Article issues == I can locate no references or mentions of a person by this or similar name, either in the usual print sources relating to Cortes or this period (Gomara, Diaz del Castillo, the Cartes, etc) or indeed anywhere else. This is concerning, unless there's some variant name spelling this person is otherwise referred by I have serious doubts that this is an authentic article. The (unreferenced) information provided is also suspect -- for example, the expedition sent north towards Baja California in 1532 by Cortes was commanded by Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (a cousin of Cortes), not anyone called "Cristobal" or "Entizne". The second ship was under Juan de Mazuela. True enough the expedition met a sticky end, but at least two members made it back from one of the ships to tell the tale. See the spanish wiki es:Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (explorador), also this reference here for example. Unless references can be supplied (will ask of the article creator, tho this article's creation has been their sole edit thus far), I'd say this needs to be put up for deletion.--cjllw ʘ TALK 09:08, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- delete, as unsubstantiated & probable hoax per my earlier comments on its talkpage. No source anywhere, let alone the sources most relevant to the conquest era, can be located that mention an individual going by this name, even in passing. There are two crew lists of Hurtado de Mendoza's expedition that still survive, naming the full complement of 53 participants [1]. There was no conquistador called Cristobal on that voyage, never mind anyone named anything like Entizne.--cjllw ʘ TALK 01:23, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
