Georges Lebiedinsky

Mildly interesting as this person seems to be, there are no sources listed for any of the information on the page (and it is expected, of course, that sources be listed for all the info on the page). Furthermore, no effort is made to assert notability. ╟─Treasury Tag►contribs─╢ 17:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete: The French and Spanish articles are very similar in content and are also unreferenced, so no help there. Google does not have much on him apart from mirrors of the various Wikipedia articles. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:52, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I'm not confident this isn't at least partially a hoax. --Boston (talk) 20:33, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why it should be a hoax but the fact that we can't prove that it isn't shows how weak its case is. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:04, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

weak Keep It is not a hoax-- the family is discussed in "Mélanges d'histoire de la médecine hébraïque: Etudes choisies de la Revue dh́istoire de la médecine hébraïque (1948-1984) By Gad Freudenthal, Samuel S. Kottek, Paul Fenton, Compiled by Gad Freudenthal, Samuel S. Kottek, Published by BRILL, 2002, ISBN 9004125221, 9789004125223 Google books but i cannot keep the several family members of that name straight from the material visible in google. There is an alternate Romanization of his name: Georges Lebidinsky. As a source, there is also [1] which refers to Wp for the portrait, but gives a French government reference [2] which unfortunately did not work for me but might on a better connection. I finally found an independent source that I could access properly: http://normandieniemen.free.fr/Joseph_Risso.htm] though it just has a mention. DGG (talk) 07:18, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's a complete hoax. I just think that if all we can get out of a reliable source is a mere mention of him, then we're not going to be able to keep 99% of the article, and he's scarcely notable. ╟─Treasury Tag►contribs─╢ 08:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The book referred to above by DGG only seems to have a couple of sentences about the subject at the bottom of this page as an aside when discussing his father. It says that he continued his father's research. This book mentions the subject on eight pages, and the references are to the same Georges Lebiedinsky (born in Kiev and joined the Free French), but I'm not sure about its status as a reliable source. It appears to be either a work of fiction or a dramatisation of historical events. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:00, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
