*'''Delete'''. It's definitely a hoax, although I'm not sure if it's ''blatant'' or merely ''obvious''. All the sources are blogs, but surprisingly seem to predate the creation of the article by quite a bit, so the author may be more super credulous than deliberately deceptive. Might still be G3able. Has anyone tried? [[User:Folly Mox|Folly Mox]] ([[User talk:Folly Mox|talk]]) 02:03, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Dernatinus (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This whole article smells like a hoax. Infobox claims that Dernatinus lived 50 BC – 90 AD, which is clearly impossible. Claim of a North African travelling to the Americas in the first century is WP:FRINGE at best. A figure born 50 BC (or even one who died c.90 AD) would be one of the earliest written attestations of Jesus and yet Google scholar turns up precisely zero results for Dernatinus. Googling turns up very littleat all for me, and none of the results seem reliable. The book illustrated in the infobox does not seem to exist on worldcat or Amazon or Google books.

Delete. Per nom. Looks like a fringe POV push at best. R Prazeres (talk) 21:14, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
