The result was delete. This is clearly heading for deletion, and there's no point in prolonging the process. You may regard this as a combination of a WP:SNOW deletion and a CSD#G3 speedy deletion, as it is obviously a hoax. JBW (talk) 13:49, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is a hoax. There is no reference to the subject in Schama’s work as indicated by the reference provided. I don’t have copies of the other two works cited but have been through all the other reference works I have on the French Revolution and find no mention of this person, I have also not been able to find anything about him online.

Delete Likely a hoax - no results for him in either of the three books via Google Books. Nothing on fr.wiki either, and the purported surname (a Russian first name) is also pretty improbable for an 18th-century Parisian. ninety:one 11:28, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, perhaps speedily, and block the creator as obviously WP:NOTHERE. If "Vasily" really was a "key ally" of a major historical figure, references would be available. They aren't, and in any event the article just reads like a hoax. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:03, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per others; it should also be noted that the IP which contested the speedy is rather obviously Adavman themselves, as they have both shown interest not only in this article, but also Ivanhoe Grammar School: [1][2]. AngryHarpy‍^talk 08:33, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have now readded the speedy deletion tag and left a warning on Adavman's talk page. AngryHarpy‍^talk 08:47, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
