[edit] The Fictional Southern Mauristemo Islands
The title of the article starts with "The Fictional..", which I think sort of sums it up. I at first thought these "Fictional" islands must be from the universe of some TV show or movie, but no mention is made or reference given to this effect. I'm at a loss. Zero Google results for "Mauristemo Islands" [1] is the nail in the coffin, for me.-- PeruvianLlama(spit) 03:02, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Nominated for speedy delete as falsehood. Am I being too bold with that? --YixilTesiphon 03:12, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. This was a hoax perpetrated by User:Influenceuh in edits to several articles concerning Oceania. There's even a map. When I challenged him he wrote "We aren't going to allow your pedestrian geographic expertise to obstruct our legitimate work. This is years of research come to life!" on my talk page. The "Fictional" was added by another editor--there was a little rename war going on there for a bit. (See also Mauristemo and Southern Mauristemo Islands, which now redirect to this article.) There are most definitely no such islands. rodii 03:28, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
