The biography is nothing more than a one sentence stub. Web searches have revealed only enough genealogical entries to maybe prove that he existed, but nothing close to indicating notability. Tagged for the complete lack of sources since August 2016. TheRedDomitor (talk) 11:13, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've tried to find reliable sources but can only find mentions, usually in lists. I don't think there will ever be enough content to turn this into a proper article. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 12:20, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Merge and redirect to List of kings of the Cimmerian Bosporus. Mccapra (talk) 16:06, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can’t find any sources for this at all. Everything online is either unrelated to this usage or if it’s the same, looks to be a mirror of this article. The article makes no sense anyway. The Bosphoran kingdom was Greek, not Trojan, nowhere near Troy and much later than it. I think this is likely a hoax. The article creator seems to have created a number of rather quirky things.
Delete As per the nominator. Sources are just mentions.CleanAmbassy (talk) 02:18, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sources are inadequate, and notability has not been established through any information provided in article. Article has been substantially unchanged since it was created in 2008, so sufficient time has elapsed for its expansion/improvement. — John (Johnnie Bob (talk) 17:58, 17 October 2020 (UTC))[reply]
Delete and salt -- The whole thing has the feel of fantasy or historical invention. I cannot think what possible source there might be for anything around the Black Sea in c.1100 or 1000 BC. The only potential Greek literary source for that period is Homer (which is perhaps more legend than history and would certain not be so specific. Somewhere in this there is a HOAX: my Google search produced a genalogical website that also gave Esdron as in Michigan in 1160 (AD?), which is equally incredible, as there is not reliable written history for north America at that period.
