[edit] Amorica (legend)

Hoax article created a long while ago. It's been sitting awaiting verification for several months, but none is forthcoming, and isn't likely to given it is a hoax. Note that google hits will likely be significantly skewed from Wikipedia mirrors (this article has been around long enough to filter across pretty much all of them), Amorica (album) and typos of Armorica and America.

• Delete - I created this article, but only to split it off from the album article.
• Delete as unverifiable, probably a hoax. Could find nothing except Wikipedia mirrors. Americas used to refer to this but was removed as well. [1]. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-17 05:45Z
• Delete per Quarl. Stifle 11:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. or add to Amorica a condensed note how this came about. Now that Wikipedia's misinformation is all over the Web, it would be an additional act of irresponsibility blithely to delete it. My presentation, somewhat in the manner of Lewis Black, of how this all came to be can be read at Talk:Amorica (legend). --Wetman 19:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

to retain incorrect information after it's known to be incorrect is even more irresponsible. Nihilartikels are always removed from encyclopedias, and as far as I know, never mentioned or explained in subsequent editions. If the worry is about mirrors of wikipedia retaining the information after it's been deleted from Wikipedia, an email could always be sent to the webmasters of the sites in question.

• Delete, unverifiable.--nixie 03:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
