This is most likely a hoax. Google shows not a single non-Wikipedia hit for "Rhys-Einhorn" or "Count of Einhorn", which would be remarkable if this family was real and extant. This and John Rhys-Einhorn, Marquess of Meleros and San Elias of the Cardona were both created by User:NobilityFan. Unless some verification is offered, any other contributions of this user should also be deleted. Pharamond 22:44, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Patent hoax. There is no record of an Austrian Graf Einhorn, or indeed of any Austrain ennobled family with the Einhorn name. Furthermore, a marquessate of "Meleros y San Elias de la Cardona" seems impossible; no place of significance is named Meleros. "San Elias de la Cardona" is a place in Mexico, not Europe. Cardona does exist in Spain; there was no Marquis of Cardona, but rather a Duke. There was a Cardona family that held a marquessate (Marquis of Guadalest), but that title moved to the Marquis of Ariza following the family's extinction in 1699. And, of course, nothing from these articles generates even a single non-Wikipedia Ghit. Serpent's Choice 08:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I have taken the liberty of removing the associated references from Einhorn and Spanish nobility. If, somehow, I am wrong, they can be easily enough reverted. There are quite a few redirects which the closing admin will want to take note of if deleting. Serpent's Choice 08:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
