[edit] Southern Katanga Islands

The article states that the Southern Katanga Islands are an unincorporated territory of the United States. The Office of Insular Affairs has never heard of this territory, and some claims made in the article are rather unlikely. Listing on AfD for a few more eyes, Speedy Delete as hoax vandalism.

• Delete as unverifiable. No Google hits for "Southern Katanga Islands" see [1].

Nothing in Google News either see [2]. Capitalistroadster 17:39, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. FWIW, Katanga is a place in Africa, I believe part of the Congo, that occasionally comes to light as a result of a series of civil wars that has been going on since the late 1950s. It isn't an island, and were it U.S. territory we should make haste to palm it off on someone else. Smerdis of Tlön 20:04, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
