[edit] Batesville, Louisiana

This town doesn't seem to actually exist. It should be pointed out that there is, in fact, a Batesville, Mississippi around 300 miles north of New Orleans (but not on any coast, obviously); 300 miles east of New Orleans happens to be in Florida. Kirill Lokshin 06:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• If it doesnt exist, how do I live in Batesville, (personal attack removed)? --Ramirez Martinez Gomez 2250 06:29, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • That's for you to prove to us. WP:V makes it clear that the burden of evidence is with you, the editor that added the content. -- Shadowlynk 06:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete - Doesn't exist according to Google; in fact, using Google Earth, I get sent to the middle of Arkansas. Ryūlóng 06:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, since I can't find any evidence of this place existing, either. If somebody does find something, let us know pronto. Luna Santin 06:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and WP:HOAX, none of my searching has turned up anything either. -- Shadowlynk 06:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per obviousness of decision and speedy so to prevent Google and mirrors from picking up on this hoax (as I've done with earlier "Fake town" articles, which are popular for some unknown reason). --W.marsh 14:02, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete as a hoax per everyone else. I tagged the article as a hoax just after creation. Michael Greiner 21:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
