"Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed,[1][2][3][4] and biblical scholars and classical historians regard theories of his non-existence as effectively refuted"

I don't know where I stand on the issue of jesus existing or not. However, I will point out that Wikipedia isn't always trustworthy.
Also, your last two sources link to the same author, Bart Ehrman, who uses Paul as a source for his research. (The Paul of the bible, obviously not credible as a source.) He also claims he has read many different historical documents from the time of Jesus's life, but he didn't name or cite them, at least not that I could see.
What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
