[edit] Kiwibowi

Probable hoax. Google shows no relevant hits, which should not be the case for an island that claims to contain one of the largest mountains in the southern hemisphere. The article's creator was asked to supply verification 5 days ago, but has not done so yet, although he did remove the PROD tag. Joyous! | Talk 01:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. There are severe verifiability problems with this article. A search for Kiwibowi Queensland on Google comes up with nothing bar this article see [1]. A search of sources available online through the ACT public library service similarly came up with nothing. Capitalistroadster 02:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• Looks like a bad attempt at a poking fun at New Zealand. At least the author spared us the usual lame sheep jokes. Delete Tubezone 05:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
