Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sascha Spesiwtsew
Hoax? I can't find a reference in google to this person except on wikipedia and pages that take information from wikipedia, and I would think that such a recent case would have ganered more interest. I'm perfectly prepared to accept it as real, I just felt it deserved scrutiny. Mallocks 12:27, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

- Ah, it's a transliteration-from-Cyrillic thing. I tried spelling it "sasha" instead of "sascha", and deleted the last name; searching for sasha + cannibal + siberia -wikipedia led me to [1], which indicates that his name was more often spelled "Sasha Spesivtsev", and googling for that (minus wikipedia) shows that his name was actually Alexander (or Aleksandr, or...) Spesivtsev, with "Sasha" being his nickname. He's also sometimes mentioned in the context of his mother (who was apparently his accomplice), so "Sasha and Ludmilla/Lyudmila/etc Spesivtsev". Definite keep. DS 14:44, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
