Seems like a probable hoax (the link to the Pravda article isn't overly convincing either); even if not a hoax, notability seems questionable. Dsreyn 13:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. I don't actually have time to look it all up, but the Pravda article claims 2 records in Guinness, and repeat coverage starting 8 years ago (12-4), so there certainly seems to be at least 2 or 3 substantial independent sources. --Gwern (contribs) 16:19 7 November 2007 (GMT)
    • Comment a search on GWR yields nothing, but this does not mean it is a hoax, as this is true of other records. Mr_pand 17:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr pand (talk • contribs)

  • Weak Delete Boy, I'd hate to delete something like this, but I can't find a single source that supports it. If the only source is Pravda, then I don't think we have enough to satisfy WP:RS. My hope was GWR, but that seems to be a dead end. Is there another article where a mention would be justified? Russian Bodybuilding or Strongmen? I've got nothing, but - in the absence of sources, there isn't much we can do. ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 21:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, per no reliable sources, only one Google news archive hit, and only 384 Ghits. Mr Which??? 02:33, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
