contested prod, no online sources, it's probably a hoax, the creator has made a mistake: he said that Nikolai Stepanovich Chernykh had discovered the asteroid 8062 but it's wrong, see here. my mistake Cenarium (talk) 21:23, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Clearly not a hoax, Google results for Russian spelling of his name, "Oхоцимский" [1], return quite a few results: Here's from the Great Soviet Encyclopedia: [2], here's more: [3], [4]. Can't make a decision about notability; but it's clearly a genuine space scientist, not a hoax. Minor point -- all those sources indicate his year of birth is 1921, not 1906. S.
