Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waghani's theorem

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Snow delete. There are suggestions that this might be a hoax and the lack of coverage on the Internet strongly leans in this direction. Even if it's something that was made up WP:ONEDAY, the lack of notability is fairly strong in this instance. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:44, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Waghani's theorem

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested prod. Prod rationale was: This appears to be a hoax. The reference to Waghani does not exist (cannot be found in Google Scholar nor MathSciNet) and MathSciNet has no record of anything related to "Sheth algebra". —David Eppstein (talk) 05:32, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I searched high and low and found nothing anywhere on this. Others also found nothing. See also Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics#Waghani's theorem. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:35, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the only reference I could find to Waghani's theorem was an Oct 6, 2013 blog by an anonymous blogger, which is an unreliable source. It is a probable hoax, but even if not, the complete lack of reliable sources shows that it strongly fails notability tests, per WP:GNG. --Mark viking (talk) 05:49, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The references this material is claimed to be based on don't seem to exist. An Introduction to Group Theory returns no Google hits and the only hits for International Journal of Universal and Abstract Algebras and "Advances in Applied Abstract Algebra in Quantum Gravity" is this Wikipedia article. The last reference is a personal blog, which is not a reliable source. -- Toshio Yamaguchi 05:50, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While I appreciate, on some level, a good hoax that doesn't oversell the attempt by dragging on forever, this should be deleted as soon as we have enough editors fail to verify that there's any reason to think any of this exists. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 06:24, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Snow delete. Obvious hoax. Sławomir Biały (talk) 06:46, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Well, I created the article, so I think I should intervene here. It is not a hoax, but after reading the policy linked by Mark viking (talk), I understcand that wikipedia material should be notable, I did not know about the policyh. It was just this paper I found on the cited journal and I found it very exciting. Hovw can I delrete it ? . 219.90.100.148 (talk) 12:34, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article will be deleted by an administrator, once this deletion discussion is over. I have a question: Where did you find the journals An Introduction to Group Theory, International Journal of Universal and Abstract Algebras and Advances in Applied Abstract Algebra in Quantum Gravity? I ask, because I have been unable to find a trace of them online. Do they exist? -- Toshio Yamaguchi 14:42, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as obvious hoax. The style is a giveaway. Ozob (talk) 14:46, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - . Absolutely nothing on GScholar and a bunch of unusable, gibberish links on GSearch. hmssolent\^{You rang?} _{ship's log} 14:57, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - obvious hoax, even in light of the creator's protests. Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 16:16, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - In addition to the references being faked-up, the article simply reads like something out of mathgen. This needs to be cleaned out post-haste. Rschwieb (talk) 20:26, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
