[edit] Sheldrick's Root

I suspect that this article is a hoax. Aside from the terrible writing and spelling, I note that no sources are cited. The result is allegedly to appear in two journals. The first, Reflections, does exist but it is not a mathematics research journal. It is about mathematics education. See http://www.mansw.nsw.edu.au/members/reflections.htm. The second title is in garbled French and not identifiable. Furthermore, I could not find either of the putative authors of this result by using Google - I question whether mathematicians by these names exist. Googling "Sheldrick's root" turns up no references other than to this Wikipedia article. Bill 05:44, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. If this is ever actually published then an article can be created when notability is established. --Crossmr 06:44, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. If it's anything, its a bit of legerdemain involving sliding your branch cuts around mid calculation. Gotta keep track of your Riemann sheets -- GWO
• Delete per above. —Khoikhoi 19:24, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
