[edit] Cornesia

Cornesia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Orphaned article; may not have even existed. Registered 1150 Ghits.   jj137 ♠ Talk 03:10, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Was about to say unreferenced and unsourced but there is technically a reference to a book that doesn't seem to exist on any catalogue. The ghits are generally for a given name "Cornesia", and none to a civilization. I suppose there is the outside chance that a once flourishing civilization has managed to escape academic scrutiny, but it would seem more likely to be a "made up at school one day civilization", and that school would seem to be in Indiana.

• Delete Umm....WP:HOAX?? Else, it is, without exaggeration, the most confusing article I've ever read on WP. -Verdatum (talk) 04:06, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

  Followup Note Most Google hits are because Cornesia is in fact a Genus found within the family, Tortricidae. -Verdatum (talk) 04:19, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, mildly clever WP:HOAX, alas, we are no longer taking auditions for WP:BJAODN. --Dhartung | Talk 04:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I got 1220 ghits for "Cornesia", and all that came up were names of people (thanks a lot, mom and dad, right?), Genus Cornesia, and the like. 2 ghits for "Cornesia civilization", one for this article, and one for answers.com. J-ſtan^Talk_Contribs 04:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, just like everyone else has said. Although it might be too soon, there's signs of a WP:SNOW thing here. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 17:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Amused delete: Grounds for deletion found in the first sentence, "Cornesia is a recently discovered civilization that may or may not have existed." Still, glad this wasn't closed yet as I might not have read it otherwise. Epthorn (talk) 19:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
