[edit] Gulf Bridge (Finland and Sweden)

This is a hoax authored by 12.217.25.182 (talk · contribs). It has been around since July 18. The same author has (the same day) also written Swedish Gulf - there is no such thing, but it can possibly be made into a redirect to Gulf of Bothnia. Please take a look at the other contributions from this IP. Uppland 20:25, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - WP is only reference to this and as Uppland is Swedish (if I'm not mistaken), I'll take his word that this is a hoax. --Isotope23 20:42, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
• Strong delete, could even be speedy deleted as it is a hoax. Swede -> -- Elisson • Talk 20:57, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. Hoax. Such a bridge would not only be "the longest bridge in Northern Europe", but indeed the longest in the world. --Salleman 21:13, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: note that Cassandra Justins, another product of this IP, has been on AfD since Sep. 4. Kim Rhodes is apparently real but the article had to be purged of most of its content, which was not (diff). Please check Egyptian cobra, Irish fruit cake, Phill Lewis and French Bay.

  • Comment: I redirected Swedish Gulf to Gulf of Bothnia and French Bay to Bay of Biscay. They could be considered for redirects for deletion, as they are neologisms, but I don't know if it's worth the fuss. Surprisingly enough, Egyptian cobra appears to contain entirely correct information. See for example [1]. --Salleman 03:51, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Well, it's been some time since I last visited Luleå, and they might of course have built it since then, but considering that a bridge between Luleå, Sweden, and Oulu, Finland would be roughly 170 kilometres, it can be probably quite safely be dismissed as pure fantasy... / Alarm 22:31, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
