Page is made up. "Stachnikov" gives only 2 unrelated google hits, no record of book on Amazon. -- SCZenz 05:42, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
commentCan anyone verify or debunk the claim about the placque in Red Square? I have to agree that as far as I can see, if he even existed at all, this Stakhnikov was at best a very very obscure crank, but did he have some other claim to fame in the former Soviet Union? If not, the article should be deleted.---CH (talk) 06:45, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: this is why I am changing my vote: I left a query addressed to User:Lionosmon on the talk page of the article in question, which was 'answered' by an 'anonymous' editor using IP address 155.198.78.191, which has been previously used to vandalize National Science Foundation. The anon simply asserts the placque is real, but his credibility has pretty much vanished, I think, in light of prior vandalism activity.---CH (talk) 14:59, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete unless someone can confirm the Red Square claim and find a biographical reference. — Laura Scudder | Talk 07:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- delete as above. William M. Connolley 09:30, 1 October 2005 (UTC).[reply]
- Delete. I can't find reference to him in any of the major academic/science electronic resources. I see no signs of verfiability, and the user who posted the information has only provided un-useful lines like "For cross checking this article I recommend using subscription eJournals of any notable physics publication, Stachnikovs influence isn't too hard to find!", which does not seem to be true. I searched for his Russian spelling in Google and came up with nothing as well -- one would expect that someone with a plaque in Red Square would have had at least one reference to it online. I think this is nonsense. --Fastfission 13:33, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
