[edit] Subandhu

• delete, patent nonsense. - Mustafaa 00:47, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete an arab born circa 5000BC named Raphael? That doesn't ring true, as that'a a Hebrew name. In any case, probable nonsense based on above. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:15, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Certain nonsense. We do not know the name of anyone alive in 5000 BC; writing hadn't been invented yet. Nor is the name of the inventor of zero known. There were no Arabs in 5000 BC; there may not even have been Semites yet. There were no Arabic numerals until 400 BC. Subandu is not an Arabic name either. Arabic numerals does mention an early Indian mathematician named Subandhu, author of the Vāsavadattā, but this article sure doesn't tell us anything about him. - Mustafaa 02:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Strong delete clearly ridiculous. --Mintie 03:51, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It seems highly unlikely that the number zero was invented before writing. — Ливай | ☺ 06:10, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Mustafaa. - 07:44, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nonsense. JamesBurns 08:03, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Worthless. I have heard of Subandhu before, but as a mythical figure comparable to the diefied early pharohs.--Tjstrf 08:36, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Nonsense. utcursch | talk 09:17, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete- Nonsense. Hindus of India and the Mayas of S.America are believed to be the first ones to use the concept of Zero. The very concept of 'Sunya' meaning void or empty orginated in India in 460 BC. --IncMan 12:52, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete- for reasons given above.--Bhadani 14:41, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete absurdity. -Splash 23:28, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
