the article is not about Giovas Vlachiotis. Melaen 18:15, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as patent nonsense and possible vanity. He gets 136 Google results, many from the same sites and many saying the exact same thing. "Kostas Karagiozis" gets more, but Google only lists 11 of them, and they aren't about the person described on the page. —simpatico hi 18:27, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wait. The present article is nonsense, of course. The Greek Wikipedia has an article about this name (Βλαχιώτης Γιόβας), who seems to have been a participant in the Greek War of Independence of 1821. Unfortunately, the Greek article is itself unreferenced. The placenames mentioned in the article make at least some sense. I'll try if I can dig anything out. Lukas (T.|@) 19:25, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]- Change to delete. I give up. The Greek article seems to be from some old Greek printed encyclopedia, so there must at least be some background, but the guy who added it hasn't been active since, and even if we could verify that source, the person (Vlachiotis, not Karagiosis) wouldn't probably meet our notability criteria - his only claim to fame is that his house was a meeting place of revolutionaries at some time.
