Alex Mayer
Hoax. Besides that I can't find anything about Alex Mayer (1942 – 1999), the article claims he studied with G. H. Hardy who, however, already died in 1947. It also claims "In 1961 he studied at Göttingen, Germany under David Hilbert and Edmund Landau". However, Hilbert died 1943 and Landau 1938. Gu 12:58, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, Hoax. The only person who was not a posthumous teacher is Bertrand Russell (Sommerfeld died in 1951).  Secondly there is a chance that it may fail WP:BIO.-- blue  520  13:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
