I tagged this article with Template:Prod with the reason "No sources, the claim of discovering the theory of relativity before Einstein is outrageous, almost no other content." An IP editor removed the tag, so I'm bringing the article here.

Also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Altaie above for a discussion on a related article which was created and de-prod-ed by the same editor. Jitse Niesen (talk) 12:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - certainly asserts notability, but currently unsourced and unverified, and looks like it might be a hoax. Delete unless sources are found to verify the article's claims. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 13:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no sources, no references and seems to cite people he only knows Alf^Photoman 14:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Big claims, no sources, no relevant Google hits that I can find. Smells remarkably hoaxy to me. --Folantin 15:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per WP:ATT, completely unsourced. Moreschi ^{Request a recording?} 15:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A hoax, indeed: "some sources maintain that Ali discovered the theory of relativity before Einstein" -- but the guy was born in 1903, whereas Einstein proposed the theory of Special relativity in 1905, and General relativity in 1915/16. Turgidson 04:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Seems like hoax. Jahangard 05:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
