Possible Hoax

I couldn't find anything about "George Diepiriye Goodhead" in a quick search. However, the Kingdom of Bonny of Nigeria does seem to exist, as well as some other parts mentioned in the article. It could be possible that this is a simply an obscure person, but I think that would be unlikely, and would need to meet the notability requirements anyway. I would like to see citations, both to verify the information stated in the article and to ensure that the person is notable. CarnivorousBunny^talk 16:45, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

I can't find anything for the subject (but King Pepple appears to be real, and the Kingdom of Bonny definitely was). Perhaps AfD might be invoked here. Peridon (talk) 20:54, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

FWIW we have a 'George Goodhead' mentioned here so it looks as though this person may have existed. This is not sufficiently blatant a hoax for speedy deletion so, I agree, that AFD looks the best next step.Just Chilling (talk) 23:28, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

George Goodhead definitely lived in his time and migrated to present day Opobo with King Jaja around 1870 - 1872. There exist till this day a George Goodhead family settlement in Ukonu Polo of Opobo Town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.146.0.42 (talk) 07:13, 25 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
