Varya Akulova
Suspected hoax, urban legend? 350 kg, for a 40 kg girl and a grandpa that lifted 1200 lbs (see site)? Delete Spearhead 09:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe delete article may be relevant if more information can be added suggesting who the person actually is and what her claims are. But as the article is at the moment it should be deleted. Dbertman 10:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - enough google hits that are articles written in powerlifting/body building circles about her. Can't find anything on Guinness site but it does not list all their records. There certainly seems to be enough information out there to create a proper article rather than a one-liner copied from her website - Peripitus 10:36, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - arguments below are very convincing - Peripitus 04:36, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax. Please supply a reasonable source to back up this claim. Looking at, it seems unlikely that this claim of 350kg is correct. DarthVad e r 12:42, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this is certainly a funny hoax. Her website is funny but clearly false. When she was seven, she only ate noodles and water, because there was high food inflation in the Ukraine... LOL - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 15:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Lord Vader. This does get some press coverage but it doesnt mean its not a hoax. (Pravda is not a reliable newspaper by the way - after the collapse of Communism, it decided to go down the sensationalist tabloid story route). Bwithh 18:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. --P199 21:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. &mdash; Khoikhoi 02:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nominator. Yamaguchi先生 23:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
