Basically a hoax based around some very flimsy factual details: there is some mention in one or two sources about Mahoma Mofari, alias Pere Cirera, who was burned because of homosexuality.

There is apparently though zero evidence that he is known as "Peter the Sinner", that he is venerated anywhere by anyone, or that he has anything to do with the international day against homophobia. Fram (talk) 15:32, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as subject doesn't meet WP:SIGCOV or the WP:NVICTIM thresholds. While I wouldn't go as far as the nom (in using the term "hoax"), the only material sources do not connect the names "Pere Cirera" or "Peter the Sinner" with the person named "Mahoma Mofar". (In The Death Penalty in Late-Medieval Catalonia: Evidence and Significations (2019; Routledge) by Flocel Sabaté, for example, there nothing about the person converting to Christianity or changing their name or similar.) The reliance on non-reliable sources (including another Wikipedia article and the author's own YouTube channel) is also a significant concern. Even if we moved the article to "Mahoma Mofar", as the name used in the sources, if the subject is only materially known for their death, how would WP:NVICTIM not apply?

Delete, regardless of whether this is technically a "hoax" or not it fails WP:NBIO. Hemiauchenia (talk) 18:07, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
