The result was userfy and then delete. It barely satisfies WP:V and surely doesn't come close to being notable. No reference is made in the article, or here, or anywhere I can find of any third-party source writing about this. If there were an article on the WCBU 2004, then this could be a section in that article. --- Deville (Talk) 20:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Currier Island
It's a blatant hoax, written well enough to avoid being speedied. Danny Lilithborne 04:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- not a hoax Currier Island is an ultimate team that did compete at the 2004 World Beach Championships. For verification, see http://wcbu2004.org/scores.htm
As other sports teams (including ultimate frisbee teams) have appeared on the Wikipedia website, I don't see why Currier Island should not be included. --Minhja 04:29, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

- Comment The article presents Currier Island as if it were a country, which it's not. Rewrite the article so it's clear it is a frisbee team and not a country. Danny Lilithborne 04:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

- Sorry for the confusion. I will make the changes. Thanks. --Minhja 04:43, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Keep The article needs some links in it for verification. I don't see a whole lot of activity on the net about this - is it still active? Brianyoumans 06:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I am confused as to why Danny Lilithborne thought the article was a confusing hoax - all the versions I see in the history seem quite clear as to the fictional nature of Currier Island. Brianyoumans 06:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment An article that says "fictional country" without saying it's from a fictional story or the like is going to have notability problems. Danny Lilithborne 06:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
