I'm simply not sure if he actually existed and it's interesting thisthis has stayed the same since November 2005 (started by IP) and it's hardly been changed. There are also few details so it's no help to searches and I would've expected at least one good source despite its age (18th century) and it's worth noting I've even managed to improve other unsourced articles such as Menahem ben Moshe Bavli, K. P. K. Menon andGanesh Shankar Vidyarthi. Inviting Calamondin12. SwisterTwister talk 02:15, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This looks like a clear hoax. Not only are no sources found, as noted above, but the particulars of the article seem extremely implausible. "Countries such as Brazil and Chile" did not yet exist in the 18th century, nor were "oil and forestry markets" developed in those locations. (As noted at History of the petroleum industry and elsewhere, a large-scale petroleum market did not exist until the late 19th century, spurred by the development of the internal combustion engine). Likewise, the United States, which had only just attained independence, exerted virtually no direct influence in South America during the 18th century, and American businessmen certainly did not have "monopolistic power" over South America (then controlled by European colonial powers, chiefly Spain and Portugal). There's nothing to suggest that anything in this article is true. Calamondin12 (talk) 12:50, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
