Delete. Original research. Hoax. The claim, that probabilistic voting systems were a new theory invented by Assar Lindbeck and Jörgen Weibull in 1987, is simply not true. Hippopotamus Logic (talk) 19:53, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I find no evidence that this is a Hoax. Probabilistic voting seems to be a frequently used term. If there's a problem with the facts, edit the page, don't delete it. --Kvng (talk) 20:37, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject is neither a hoax nor OR. The article was vandalised in March 2009 by a user who has only ever made that one edit. I have reverted the vandalism so that the article now (correctly) refers to Peter Coughlin and his book entitled Probabilistic voting theory (the book can be found using Google Scholar).
