The result was speedy delete, blatant hoaxes are vandalism.

Very probably a hoax, utterly unverifiable and contains very dubious things. Feel free to speedy delete it as a hoax page if people with more knowledge of Chechnya agree with this. That I can't find a single reliable source for the article subject may be a problem of transcription. But there are also no sources for the two authors of the books listed at the bottom of the article, nor for the very unlikely named people like "Tiago Mandrillo". It's a bit sad that this survived for four months and was recently "reviewed" (until then, it was listed as an unreviewed article at least). Fram (talk) 13:58, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete:

....was born in the town of Lavta, 13 km (8 mi) from the Chechen town of Grozny, to a family of farmers from the Dorge nish nish clan, a sub-group of the Hogre nishde tribe.
His mother, Madre Slabadanze'h, named her newborn son Grido, which in the Chechen language means "Thy who is".
Shortly afterward, Grido's 42-year-old uncle returned to the Chechen republic after many years living as a transsexual in Sudan.
During this time, Grido supported himself as a stripper at a bar in Grozny.

Sounds like a hoax to me. The names seem to be some kind of Spanish/Yiddish pastiche. Not mentioned in Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:56, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Some of the outrageous claims in this article would be easy to verify by Google if this were not a hoax. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:19, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete — it seems that there was no chechen republic before the year 2000, so he wasn't president in the 90s. but it seems that there was a chechen republic of ichkeria from 91 to 2000. unfortunately some other guys were presidents of it. the only google hits for this name are to the wp article. the conclusion is that it's a hoax. not a bad one, either, but they should have toned it down and put in a bunch of sources in cyrillic. it might never have been noticed. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 21:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
