Google can't find anything. Is this real? Only reference on wikipedia is this. Thue | talk 16:34, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

delete, even if it were true, wikipedia is not the place to publish breaking news --fvw 17:43, 2004 Nov 9 (UTC)
If it can't be verified, delete. Average Earthman 17:58, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete: As Earthman says, it's unverifiable. Geogre 19:07, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Can we speedy this under the criterion "Very short articles with little or no context"? Bearcat 21:21, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete unless verified. --Michael Snow 21:39, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete. 1) Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news outlet. 2) The assertion is unverified. 3) The [content] was gibberish. A second anon edited the article 4 min later making the claim about the "unconfirmed report". The combination makes me strongly suspect that this is a hoax. Rossami 01:39, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Actually the way this went was that an anon mentioned it on the reference desk, and after reading that Eequor added it to the front page with 2004 Bulgaria radiation leak as a red link. People reading the front page then probably filled it out. Thue | talk 20:27, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Useless substub. False information about a non-notable event. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 11:01, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

As for the event being non-notable, I suggest you contact the people living in Saratov and ask them their opinion about the notability of a reactor shutdown, particularly those who were hospitalized for iodine overdoses. [1] --[[User:Eequor|η

Delete. I should like to point out that the reactor was actually in the Ukraine, with no leak of radiation. [2] --[[User:Eequor|ηυωρ]] 22:21, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Even if the article was accurate it would be useless.
