This article is almost definitely a hoax, with the only available pertinent resource being a book which is only found on Amazon with no cover for exactly $100. Gurrag (talk) 14:30, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm. There's multiple books by Philip Francis Harwood, and this article from 2001 mentions the balbis in terms of a 'finish line' structure... DS (talk) 12:49, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Contested PROD explanation
editI am contesting the Proposed Deletion ("Can't verify beyond the one source. No other hits on Google Books."). There seems no doubt that balbis is indeed the name of a structure used in ancient Greek races [4] [5] [6], and that there is a book from 1971 describing the geometrical figure that the balbis may have formed [7]. There is clearly enough for an article using this material. Deltahedron (talk) 07:39, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
