Daniel Pontillas[edit]

Rather obscure fictional character. Granted this guy is a character from novels over 100 years ago. But not sure just how notable he is. Now maybe userfy be nice on this. But overall not sure if this should stay on wiki or not. (Though it does sound interesting I will admit) Wgolf (talk) 03:19, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wait just noticed something the creator of the article has THE SAME name as this guy. No author for the book...only thing I can find on Google is wiki mirrors....is this a hoax??? Wgolf (talk) 03:22, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment-looking this over, this seems to be a huge never caught hoax! Wgolf (talk) 03:24, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Good find. Per my comments at Wikipedia_talk:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia#Possible_one_from_2008-Daniel_Pontillas, it is a hoax based on Arsène Lupin.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 04:01, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE - Definite hoax. Google reports No results found for "Daniel Pontillas" -Wikipedia prior to 2011.[1] User:Mikuu_achi is a clear sock of User:Daniel_Pontillas. Neither account has edited outside the Daniel Pontillas article. At one point he even inserted an (off-site-hosted) photo of himself into the article. He also changed the name of the "leading lady", presumably to match his change in girlfriend. I'll place a hoax user-warning template on both account talk pages, although neither account has edited in over 4 years. Alsee (talk) 12:27, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The thing that got me first was when I saw the words Sherlock and was thinking "that is odd"....Of course it be obvious if we saw something like "Man who won 2 Oscars, a noble peace prize, 3 Olympic gold medals, 5 Grammys...." (Unless if they were the worlds most busiest and amazing person ever) or "The long lost unknown president of the US" (Okay that is pushing it). Wgolf (talk) 14:26, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
