[edit] Patrick Altaie

I tagged this article with Template:Prod with the reason "No sources, no assertion of notability, Altaie is described with the weird term "conceptual mathematician", no publications in Mathematical Reviews." An IP editor removed the tag, so I'm bringing the article here.

Also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arsalan Ali below for a discussion on a related article which was created and de-prod-ed by the same editor. Jitse Niesen (talk) 12:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Article has the overpowering odour of hoax about it. --Folantin 15:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - per WP:ATT, completely unsourced. 9 ghits hardly gives any impression of notability, either. Moreschi Request a recording? 18:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, nice try but i felt the pull on my leg on time AlfPhotoman 20:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I can't seem to find anything to substantiate this, nor can I find anything about his friend the famous physicist Arsalan Ali. Note that if this is deleted, this (and probably Arsalan Ali, too) will need to be removed from List of left-handed people, which they were added to recently. --Sopoforic 06:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hoax. A "conceptual mathematician" is one who never existed in the real world, but only as a concept in some daydreamer's mind. DavidCBryant 12:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions. -- David Eppstein 03:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
