[edit] Longformacus

This page was created by a user who later turned out to be a vandal. As such, it is being nominated for Afd as a possible hoax. However, I haven't had time to research it and it may possibly be a valid article. -- Curps 16:05, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• Given the creator's contributions record, I approached with extreme scepticism. However, it googles nicely (look at this). I have removed the stuff I can't verify (Clarkson and the name's derivation) which admittedly doesn't leave much, but I vote keep as it stands. --RobertG ♬ talk 17:27, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:28, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep needs expansion but very definitely a real place --Deiz 12:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Deiz :: Supergolden 22:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: Real place, and here's a source if anyone wants to expand the article: http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/longformacus/longformacus/ Thanks/wangi 09:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep place I know, and I have visited a number of times. Why is it a "hoax"? Because Scottish place names sound odd to some people's ears? --MacRusgail 11:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• I've corrected and expanded the article a bit, and removed the AfD notice since this is really a speedy keep. Thanks/wangi 11:43, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Real, verifiable, expanding as we speak and Wangi beat me to it with the Geograph image which I will now delete from my HD :-) Cactus.man ✍ 19:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
