[edit] Jonestown, Demerara
No sources provided, and googling the name turns up nothing but references to the other Jonestown, making me think this is a possible hoax. Even our own articles on Demerara-Mahaica and Demerara make no mention of it. Needs references, or else should be deleted as unverifiable. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 07:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Keep: No this is not a hoax. This is a real place. If in doubt, Google "Jonestown" "Mahaica" for confirmation of its existence -- for example, this. References I can do, but they might take some time. This nice little article was just about my first contribution. I sincerely hope it is not about to be done in by mere impatience. -- Lonewolf BC 08:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Alright, but all I'm turning up on the name are mentions of people who happen to be from the place, nothing that supports anything actually stated in the article. I have no opposition to an article about a town, but we need to be able to source what we write. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 08:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- That was just to show the place is for real. Full referencing I can't give you with that kind of immediacy. ;-) The point is that this is not some elaborate joke, and that I'd be grateful for some slack, at least timewise. I'm not suggesting that we needn't be able to source. -- Lonewolf BC 08:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Prod and AFD both take at least five days. Five days isn't that much of a rush to find a single source. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 09:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Keep: It's not a hoax. Maybe the article just needs work and it's contributors need to cite sources. --ElectricEye (talk) 09:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
