[edit] Mundoon

Small, non-notable town. Delete Ardenn 07:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. 5000-6000 inhabitants? I wouldn't call that small, really. It deserves to stay.Image:Weather rain.pngSoothingR 07:52, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Delete. Unverifiable.Image:Weather rain.pngSoothingR 08:06, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • CommentDelete: Google yielded nothing to the existence of this town. Abstain until someone can verify its existence one way or the other. Ruby's research/knowledge, which I trust, seems to corroborate that. --Kinu 07:56, 5 February 2006 (UTC); updated Kinu 08:03, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Golly that's a nice compliment, Kinu. Ruby 14:51, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete There's no town of Mundoon, there's a place called "Mundoon Waterhole" in Queensland but it doesn't have 6000 people, no way. Ruby 07:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Here's two refs to Mundoon Waterhole [1] [2], but I agree with Ruby: Mundoon doesn't exist. --Aaron 08:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Here's beautiful downtown Muldoon Waterhole. --Aaron 08:15, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete A Google search for Mundoon Queensland came up with nothing to verify this see [3]. On the other hand, a search for Mundoo, Queensland came up with 62,000 hits [4]. Mundoo seems to be near Cairns but I doubt that much coal is mined there - certainly Google came up with nothing to indicate that. Capitalistroadster 10:14, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I just checked my Macquarie World Atlas, an Australian atlas which has comprehensive coverage of Australia - no mention of Mundoon. Capitalistroadster 10:23, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - Australia Post has no record of a town called "Mundoon", that's as definitive a test as I can think of. - Synapse 16:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment This nomination is terse to the point of invalidation. There's no grounds to delete an article on an established locality, no matter how small. If the nomination is because the town doesn't exist, then say so. --AlexWCovington (talk) 16:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Ruby. --Rory096 18:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete what was this guy thinking? Bobby1011 18:34, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Geoscience Australia search for Mundoon found nothing[5], found a proposal for a school at Mundoon, NSW[6]. Place would appear defunct if it ever existed. -- Paul foord 05:53, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
  • there is a town called Mundoona in Victoria (northwest of Shepparton) but it' not a coal mining area. I would therefore argue for a Delete. --Roisterer 07:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax--Porturology 10:32, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not because it's "non notable" (every town is notable as far as I'm concerned) but because it's unverifiable. --kingboyk 21:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
