[edit] Buffenheimer
Likely hoax. Prod template was removed by the article’s author without comment. Comments on the article’s talk page:
- No google hits for "Buffenheimer" or "P.R. Stein and Geoffry Humphry". Smells hoaxy. Author has registered under the name "Buffenheimer". Author has a different story (with different dates) on his user page saying that Buffenheimer invented the modern tennis ball. I think April the first has come early to the Galapagos Islands. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- No trace on Amazon or Abebooks or my local university library of the book cited as a reference. Hoax. Take it to AfD if the PROD doesn't stick. JohnCD (talk) 12:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

- Delete. Ugh! I hoped I had seen the last of this one when I put PROD on it. It is a pathetic hoax. The author has not even tried to defend it. --DanielRigal (talk) 15:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete and based on the creator's userpage Salt. Hoaxalicious. Edward321 (talk) 01:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
