Mr. Greeler

Famous composer with unknown first name, and after he died all his music disappeared. Doesn't google. Likely a hoax. Radiant! 15:12, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Probably hoax - nothing in my Grove dictionary of music... Nick04 16:31, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Is this a hoax? I find one Google result on a trivia site, and nothing else. I would expect to find more if it was real. Unless someone in Boston can go look up old newspapers that attest to this, I'm afraid I have to assume hoax. HyperZonk^talk 17:34, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Probable hoax, offers no evidence to the contrary. BTfromLA 18:20, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Hoax or not, it's an orphan lacking significant information. -- Infrogmation 18:26, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, probable hoax, insufficient notability even if verified as true. Barno 19:16, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete the supposed fact that his first name is unknown clinches it for me that this is a hoax. If he was truly a performed composer, someone surely would have jotted his name down someplace. This was supposedly the late 1800s, and newspapers and such would have recorded it. If we were talking about a figure from the first few centures AD, I could see how part of a name might be lost, but in the 1890s? I'm not buyin' it.
