The well-known Pade conjecture, which was formulated in 1961 by Baker, Gammel, and Wills states that for each meromorphic function f in the unit disc D there exists a subsequence of its diagonal Pade approximants converging to f uniformly on all compact subsets of D not containing the poles of f. In 2001, Lubinsky found a meromorphic function in D disproving Pade's conjecture. The function presented in this article disproves the holomorphic version of Pade's conjecture and simultaneously disproves Stahl's conjecture (Pade's conjecture for algebraic functions)
