The only source cited for this article is a website in Italian that claims the Mercedarian Order observes the apparent subject’s feast day on 23 November, but a quick search for "23 November Catholic saints" shows that she is not on the saints’ calendar.
Furthermore, a Google search for a "St Teresa of Jesus" comes up with Teresa of Ávila, who was canonized in 1622 and exalted to patroness of Spain by the Cortes Generales in 1627 – exactly the same years claimed for the birth and death of this alleged saint "Teresa of Jesus, Child."
All of this points towards being a likely hoax, and a very long-lasting one at that (over 11 years). 00sClassicGamerFan (talk) 07:02, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

- Delete, indeed a blatant hoax, created to cause confusion. Note that e.g. Sanlúcar de Barrameda, the supposed death place of this child, has a relic of the real Saint Teresa. Fram (talk) 07:53, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. And then you have Theresa of Lisieux Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:25, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Speedy delete. Probably qualifies for immediate deletion via WP:SNOW. I had forgotten I created this. It was at a time when I was trying to write articles about saints or venerables who were children and this website said she was five. There are a lot of saints named Theresa, not all of them venerated in every country or included on every calendar of saints after Vatican II, if I remember my thought process at the time. I had written several others that were all in a category called Child Saints. Looking at this one again, I agree that it is completely problematic and should be deleted, probably immediately.
