[edit] Amokolia

Appears to be hoax.

Evidence:

• The only references in the article are to the site amokolia.com.
• The domain "amokolia.com" was created last week, on May 15, 2006.
• The only hit Amokolia has in Google is in the list of daily domain changes.
• Amokolia is not in the CIA World Factbook.

Because the creator of the article claims that it is not a hoax, we have to do this the hard way. John Nagle 06:23, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• None of those pieces of "evidence" have anything to do with whether something is a hoax or not. This was already dealt with on the article's talk page. Jimpartame 06:24, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - per nom. Zaxem 06:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• "Fartia"? Seriously. Do you have any evidence that this is not a hoax? I could say that my left foot is the size of Uranus, and you would have nothing to disprove it. Does my left foot deserve an article? Delete. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 06:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

    • I guess somebody deleted it? Anyway, my point still stands. Jimpartame 06:55, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete- Most likely a hoax, and non-notable if true. Reyk _YO! 06:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - WP:NFT. More strictly, per Wikipedia:Verifiability. -GTBacchus^(talk) 06:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. "Fartia" is a silly name, but even silly things can be encyclopedic. Jimpartame 06:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Too many fake micronations recently for me to spend any time thinking about whether or not another one is true. Provide more sources to meet WP:V to convince people this is not WP:HOAX, or else it's just your word against ours. And by "you" I mean Jimpartame and no one else, and by "us" I mean just about everyone else on Wikipedia. Morgan Wick 07:09, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Wait, why me? I'm not part of Amokolia. I only created the article because Jimbo's talk page said to. Jimpartame 07:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
    • You're the only one defending it. Change "you" to Jimpartame and Cartman4000 and no one else, and Jimpartame is probably the unwilling victim of a hoax. See User talk:Jimbo Wales#Create a page for what we're both referring to. (Note: if the Cartman4000 who signed that page is the same one who registered in March, note that that user has been blocked for vandalism since April.) Changing vote to Speedy Delete. I'm more convinced than ever it's a hoax. Morgan Wick 07:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per A7: groups of people. Whether it's a hoax or not, no claim of notability is made for this group of people. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 07:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment The creator of the article, the only person who wants to keep it, now has this entry in the block log: "07:11, 21 May 2006 Freakofnurture blocked "Jimpartame (contribs)" with an expiry time of indefinite (pagemove...)", as a result of other unrelated activity by that user. So nobody is likely to object if this article just quietly disappears overnight. --John Nagle 07:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
