[edit] Magnificent city council

Supposedly well-known city in Tasmania. Well I'm Tasmanian - I've never heard of this place, and neither has Google. This page was prod-ed as a possible hoax, and the prod was deleted by an anon IP. The logo was "created from scratch" by the uploader. The most famous feature of this alleged city is the "Rawson memorial beach", named after the city's current (and apparently still alive) mayor.

• Delete. This map of Tasmanian local governments doesn't mention it. [1]. As an Australian, I have not heard of Magnificent city or the Rawson River in Tasmania and I have been unable to verify its existence in reliable sources. Capitalistroadster 03:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

• Posssible Update/ Delete This "council" was invented by students at a Nothern Tasmania School, Link here either post a disclamer at the top of the page or delete. Stuart Gibson 11:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Wikipedia is not for something made up one day at school - and rarely has that rule been more apt, I reckon. - Corporal Tunnel 04:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I knew a John Rawson, mayor of "Magnificent City" and who the river and beach were supposedly named after, was a teacher at St Patricks, but thanks for finding the solid proof of "made up in school-ness"! --Canley 14:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
