[edit] Map of the Creator

there are at least two bogus references in this article, including the Russian magazine Pravda (article states this phenomanon was reported in 2002 in Pravda, but the magazine was shut down in 1991, although could be referring to the un-related website) and the "Center for Historical Cartography of Wisconsin" which gave no hits on Google for a center with that name.

  • Delete per nom. Not even on the pravda.ru website (a notoriously unreliable source), my first thought for its origin. Tevildo 23:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep assuming pravda.ru is considered a reliable source for WP:V, otherwise Delete. The cited story on pravda.ru is here. The article should be altered to reference it. Scratch that, it does include it as an external reference. --DaveG12345 23:24, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. Pravda.ru is _marginally_ more reliable than the Weekly World News. (We don't seem to have an article on it, unfortunately). I personally would _not_ consider it to meet WP:V. :) Tevildo 23:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I created this article, since it was a redlink on OOPArt, and a bluelink on the French version. So it might be necessary to start up a VfD on the French Wikipedia as well. Ben Standeven 03:50, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete seems hard to verify. Especially since Pravda is a tabloid. JohnnyBGood t c VIVA! 23:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
