  • A spoof. Pseudo-mathematical patent nonsense. Speedy delete candidate -- The Anome 07:39, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • delete -- nonsense Wolfman 08:20, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, preferably speedily. Patent nonsense that looks more intelligent than your average crackpot article because it uses <math> tags. A classy bit of vandalism. • Benc • 08:43, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete with extreme prejudice. --Phil | Talk 09:46, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • Bad math, bad science - must be a spoof, surely? Delete - TB 10:45, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • Hoaxes are not speedy deletes according to the specific cases. Regular delete. Rossami 13:18, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Excellent troll. Probably very convincing to non-mathematicians. Surely we should be able to speedy a hoax? If not, that policy needs to change. Delete. anyway, even if we have to wait. Rory 16:44, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • Looks like a savvy hoax. Might be someone testing Wikipedia's ability to root out plausible-sounding nonsense. Really ought to be speedy-deleted as complete misinformation. Isomorphic 17:49, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: Too many articles that were initially thought to be a hoax have turned out to be valid topics but poorly written. (See Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia above for a recent example that caught me.) The VfD notice is usually sufficient to alert readers that the article is suspect but you could also edit the article or comment on the Talk page to make your concerns more visible. Rossami
