Evangelos Spandagos
Another non-notable crackpot science-writer, associated with the same ultra-nationalist Greek-supremacy "grecoreport"/"Davlos" website/journal as the recently deleted Elias Tsatsomoiros and Joseph E. Yahuda. Effectively unsourced, as the only fact reported about this author in the article is taken from the notorious grecoreport website, which is known to be extremely unreliable about quotes. Even if it was verified, that fact (a claim published by Spandagos about Copernicus) should go in the Copernicus article and wouldn't make Spandagos himself notable. Another "achievement" of Spandagos seems to be that in 1997 he claimed to have discovered a lost work of ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes Apolloniates. If true, this would have caused an earthquake in classical scholarship, but ever since, nobody except Spandagos seems to have seen the document and no other medium except Daulos and some gullible newspaper have ever published anything about it. A charlatan, apparently. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
