  • Delete - This appears as a hoax. I actually did find an article with a reference to "Edmond's Monument" [1], but it had nothing to do with the "mount" this article claims that exists. --Oakshade 21:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hoax. No mountain exists at the grid reference specified. [2] - southeast of Abergavenny is relatively flat countryside. Sugar Loaf Mountain, Wales is a couple of miles northwest, and the text is lifted wholesale from that article with silly alterations. Suggest speedying or snowballing this discussion - there's really no need to waste more time on such a silly piece of vandalism. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 21:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Absolute nonsense. The same user, under several user names, is already responsible for a number of other hoax articles, now deleted. He has become active again with the user names EdPuw and JohntheMill (and possibly others - he had something like four or five sock puppets a month or so ago). Enaidmawr 23:44, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Note: He now has another sock puppet used to create another hoax article Ned Pugh (just found and tagged as such by me). Enaidmawr 23:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. also suggest speedy. - Snigbrook 23:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as {{db-vandalism}}, per above. --Sigma 7 05:51, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
