[edit] Quieunonascaranas
Un-verifiable chief of the Hurons. Possibly hoax. YUL89YYZ 19:20, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. An elaborate hoax that has propogated on many sites similar to Wikipedia (with exactly the same text), but nothing else can be found on this guy.--Adam

- Keep, for the moment. Hold your horses, this is more than just a hoax, needs some more research, and not of the kind you can do with Google in five minutes. There seems to be some true core to this story, although I haven't been able to verify the name as such. There definitely was the establishment of a Christian recollets missionary outpost among the Hurons at the time mentioned (1623), at a place called Quieunonascaran, although the local chief was called Auoindaon, according to one source. See [1], [2], [3]. - By the way, I've contacted the creator of that page, User:Zanimum, whose profile doesn't exactly look like that of the average Wikipedia hoaxer.

- Wait. Keep this on AfD so I remember to investigate this. I can't see why I would have created a hoax article, and I'm confident this isn't about a fictious character in a book, movie, etc., as I don't read that often. I've been to the Sainte-Marie-Among-the-Hurons site many times, and might have picked up the info there. I would have been in high school at the time of this article's creation, and so I might have got it from a textbook, or a book in the school's library. Sadly, I'm in Toronto all week every week, can't pop back in there to see. I've tried Google Print, with no luck, so I'll try and get in contact with that historical site to have them confirm or deny. -- user:zanimum
- Keep and Rename to Auoindaon. According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, Quieunonascaran was a Huron settlement near the present-day Penetanguishene, Ontario, with Auoindaon as the chief user:zanimum seems to be talking about in the article. Not a hoax. Luigizanasi 18:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as per Luigizanasi. --maclean25 22:27, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as per Luigizanasi, although I've taken the liberty of altering the spelling of his proposed retitle since the actual name indicated in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography is Auoindaon rather than Auoidaon. Bearcat 18:21, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
