In two recent papers by Pore et al. and Khuyagbaatar et al., discovery of the new isotope ^244Md was reported. The decay data, however, are conflicting. While Pore et al. report two isomeric states decaying by α emission with E_α(1)=8.66(2) MeV, T_1/2(1)=0.4_-0.1^+0.4 s and E_α(2)=8.31(2) MeV, T_1/2(2)≈6 s, Khuyagbaatar et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 142504 (202.PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.125.142504] report only a single transition with a broad energy distribution of E_α=(8.73-8.86) MeV and T_1/2=0.30_-0.09^+0.19 s. Th
