[edit] Kobiela, Wisconsin

Kobiela, Wisconsin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article and its photograph are a hoax. Google "Kobiela" only results in mirrors to this article. I have a highly detailed DeLorme map/book [1] which does not list this non-existent location. To give you the detail level of this map/book, there are four entries for "Four Corners" and five entries for "Five Corners". There is no school district or high school named Kobiela in Wisconsin. The coordinates for this "location" are in Lake Michigan. This hoax has been discussed at WikiProject Wisconsin Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Wisconsin#Question_about_a_Wisconsin_location_article, and conscensus is that it is a hoax. The prod tag was removed by contributor who uploaded the image and whose only edits are on this article. Royalbroil 06:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per above. Gimme danger 06:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. I looked it up too and can't find anything to confirm its existance. Too bad Konrad won't get any of that land. --Oakshade 06:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. I live one county over and have never heard of it. The state Department of Public Instruction fails to confirm any school there, nor does schooltree.org. And a town with a high school surely has a zip code. --Dhartung | Talk 08:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per all above research. J Milburn 09:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Note that the article was created by one Kobielewski. I would suspect that he is the Konrad Kobielewski mentioned in it, and that the whole thing is a fictionalised family history. BTLizard 09:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as hoax. The Wisconsin Vital Records Office publishes a list of all cities, villages, towns, and unincorporated places in Wisconsin and this place is not listed there at all. Andy Marek 14:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. Can we invoke WP:SNOW yet? DarkAudit 15:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Snow it per above. Author of article should have chosen a northern Wisconsin location. --Whsitchy 17:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, Kobielewski (talk · contribs) seems to be a vandal. Does Pertel2 (talk · contribs) his sockpuppet? Carlosguitar 00:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
