The Bierrum Effect

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a hoax, to my mind blatant enough for WP:CSD, but it has lurked here for a regrettably long time (much credit to User:Malcolma who has just tagged it); it was speedied, but unfortunately mis-tagged as nonsense; then PRODed and the PROD removed, so we have to bring it here. Merely reading it should have set alarm bells ringing, but just to confirm: Google Scholar knows nothing of the Bierrum effect or Exanimus Alo-somnia or Pyga Pactum Inflatio Virus or of any papers by Professor A N Dalusian (whose name alone gives this away). There is nothing relevant in Google - most of the articles that turn up do not actually mention it, and the rest are WP mirrors. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 19:34, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
