By any standard his proof was correct. But it was not accepted by the Math establishment because he was not part of the inner circle. The claim that Stark did it with a similar proof is a whitewash, it means that he recycled Heegner's proof and took the credit for it. It is a shame that he died before it was accepted as the first proof of Gauss' imaginary quadratic field conjecture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.59.207.218 (talkcontribs) on the article page, and was moved here by me as it seems more suitable as a talk page comment.
