This website http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~kcy05t/ appears to refute Quantum mechanics using some proof.
An important paper involved is this 'Calculation of Helium Ground State Energy by Bohr's Theory-Based Methods' http://arxiv.org/abs/0903.2546 (written by the website author)
How to disprove the author's claims, assuming his refutation of QM is unacceptable/false.
Note: I don't know if this question belongs here.
Edit:It may take considerable effort to refute or support his claims.
Answer
Arriving at the same answer as quantum mechanics for one particular scenario by making a bunch of ad hoc assumptions (for example - the calculation didn't work, so we'll make the orbital planes perpendicular) isn't useful. QM allows you to calculate much more than the ground states of atoms.
Any competing theory - and that paper doesn't contain anything which could be described as a theory - would have to have the same breadth of applicability as QM
