[edit] Eiland

Several users claim this city doesn't excist, but is a hoax. Listing to help new user No vote from me. Eivind^t@c 07:12, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete Hoax as Nl:Eiland = Dutch for island, not a city. Fwiw the biggest city in Oost-Vlaanderen is Ghent (pop. 230,000). ~ trialsanderrors 07:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete. Ellywa 08:31, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete It does not exist --Walter 09:10, 18 June 2006 (UTC) (And if I where admin here I would block that user and check of he is not a sockpuppet, what seems likely)

• Comment I'm not a sockpuppet. Gotem is another account of mine, but I've never not made no attempt to hide this. syphonbyte 16:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment It was the kind of accusation that would have made you claw your eyes in despair, had you not been a sockpuppet not long enough to un-ignore it. --The Raven 02:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as hoax. - Tangotango 09:21, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Hoax. DarthVader 10:23, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete sheer nonsense Steinbach (fka Caesarion) 10:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. Hoax, part of a larger group of hoaxes and nonsense articles by same people (see e.g. Polfbroekstraat). Fram 12:32, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, but not speedily (doesn't qualify under the patent nonsense criteria). Unlike the Gotem article, I cannot find substantial evidence that this is a real town/city. ScottW 13:32, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete There's no city called Eiland in Belgium: this is a hoax. --Tuvic 16:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment This does not meet Speedy Deletion criteria as we've determined before, so just consider the Speedy Delete votes as Delete votes. syphonbyte 16:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Hoax. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. Hoax. I happen to live nearby. Eiland is a street which starts in the centre (!) of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, then turns circularly right to keep the Eilandmolen (Island Mill - a water mill from 1480 which still exists, just google) on its left and then turns sharply left again into development NE of the same water mill. Despite this new development I doubt whether there are more than 100 houses in this street. There is an online Belgian street finder: www.mappy.be. Checking "Eiland 26" and "Eiland 27" in Sint-Lievens-Houtem (unfortunalety, the site does not like completely quoted urls) should give you a good idea of what we are talking about in reality. As Fram said, I would advise everyone here to have a look at Polfbroekstraat and Kottem where the same people are active. User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy --pgp 21:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete WP:V WP:HOAX. For ref Google Maps (50° 52' 60N, 4° 0' 0E). blue520 03:37, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete WP:HOAX. —Khoikhoi 03:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Syphonbot delivered proof of the article being a hoax, just this night: look at my remark about the references at Talk:Eiland. --Tuvic 17:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Proof? The only proof there is that I found a source online.

• Comment And this site is even more a hoax than the article itself, therefore supporting the claim that the article is a hoax. --Tuvic 18:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete this is a simple hoax. gidonb 19:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
