[edit] Cork's apple

Cork's apple (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

There is no real evidence that this exists, and no sources cited on the page. Kntrabssi 10:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - article was created by a WP:SPA and 15 minutes of searching on google, google scholar, news articles etc.. has shown no trace of either Malus germicana or an apple named after Stephen Cork. Lots and lots of wikipedia mirrors and other places but nothing reliable at all. Looks like a hoax - Peripitus (Talk) 11:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete no sources provided and none findable. Appears to be a hoax. Note that the primary editors of the article appear to be single purpose accounts. -- Whpq 21:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The only article I found on google that is different from the Wikipedia article is also edited the same way Wikipedia is. No trustworthy sources anywhere, no mention of Stephen Cork, Malus Germicana, or any other related issues. Also, the claim that Stephen Cork found this apple while filming the IMAX movie "Galapagos" are false, as there is no evidence a man named Stephen Cork ever worked on the film. The pictures seem photoshopped, as well. Kntrabssi 03:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and comments here. -- Alucard (Dr.) | Talk 17:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No evidence is given in the article to prove that the cork's apple is a real fruit and, more importantly, investigation has failed to yield such information. I have removed references to the "Cork's apple" at the Galapagos Islands article and Cork (a disambiguation page). -- Black Falcon 01:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
