[edit] Alex Mayer

Hoax. Besides that I can't find anything about Alex Mayer (1942 – 1999), the article claims he studied with G. H. Hardy who, however, already died in 1947. It also claims "In 1961 he studied at Göttingen, Germany under David Hilbert and Edmund Landau". However, Hilbert died 1943 and Landau 1938. Gu 12:58, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, Hoax. The only person who was not a posthumous teacher is Bertrand Russell (Sommerfeld died in 1951). Secondly there is a chance that it may fail WP:BIO.--blue520 13:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Appears to be a hoax, but beyond that it is not notable IrishGuy 13:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete — article does not support notability; does not pass Google test; possible most probably a hoax -- Argon233 ^T _@ ^C _¶ ^U _∠  15:02, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
