[edit] Robert Levinas Chimsky

Robert Levinas Chimsky (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Found through Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles. No sources since 2005, and a Google search suggests this article might be a hoax altogether. Also delete this odd picture that used to illustrate the article. Sandstein 20:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Unreferenced, does not demonstrate genuine notability. Akradecki 20:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)d

  • Delete probable hoax. I was unable to find an isbn for his supposed major work, nor any mention of it in Google scholar. His supposed follower "Yan Tho Zin" has zero ghits. I'm guessing the name "Chimsky" was chosen to make fun of Noam Chomsky. —David Eppstein 16:37, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete -- probable hoax; could not find entries for any of the works in Harvard or Library of Congress catalog, even on a search for last name alone or last name keyword. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 19:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Outwitted us for two years, even after Yan Tho Zin was deleted in 05, but we finally caught on. DGG 04:11, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete; I was unable to verify any of the details of this bio. John Vandenberg 04:34, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Hungary-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 04:34, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I found one reference to him in a foreign language blog. If this a hoax, then it is very devious, which makes me shudder. nadav 05:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
