[edit] Fahad Ahmed

Fahad Ahmed (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Looks like a hoax/fictional vanity article. About someone who "is regarded as the one of the (sic) greatest mathematicians in quantum electrodynamics" but neither Google nor Google Scholar offer evidence for this. Pseudo-mathematical terms like Fahad's Law and Heineman Maths Constant likewise draw a blank, as do many of the names of his associates. Coincidentally (maybe), a vanity bio for a non-notable maths student of the same name was speedied a couple of days ago. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 19:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete The article describes someone who is very notable. Unfortunately, that person is called Stephen Hawking, and this article has changed a bunch of words from his article, most notably his name. Thomjakobsen 19:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • The "religious views" section is also a rewording of the one in the article Paul Dirac.Thomjakobsen 19:41, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • ... and the paragraphs starting, "Ahmed drew on his broad knowledge of physics..." and, "Early in his career, he supported Fred Hoyle's steady state cosmology..." are rewordings of parts of Dennis_William_Sciama. No further discussion necessary :) Thomjakobsen 19:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax. No hits. Also no relevant hits for the claimed "well known mathematicians" with whom he is claimed to have worked. "The Fahad equation is as central to theoretical physics as the Maxwell, Yang-Mills and Einstein field equations. Fahad is regarded as the one of the greatest mathematicians in quantum electrodynamics." but nobody including google has ever heard of him? I call shenanigans. DMacks 19:32, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment I've tagged this for speedy per Thomjakobsen's investigations - good catch that man! Iain99Balderdash and piffle 19:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Good hoax, but delete anyway. • Lawrence Cohen 20:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax per nom and others. GlassCobra 22:06, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I removed the speedy tag so the afd could run its course and permit G4 to be used against re-creation, but I'd have no objection to an early closure as WP:SNOW. DGG (talk) 22:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
and looking also at the previous repeated attempts at creating an article under this name, I'd suggest salting against re-creationDGG (talk) 22:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per most of the above.--JForget 23:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
