Hoatan[edit]

According to Google, this is a proper name, a Vietnamese hamlet, and an era of sand dune formation in New Zealand, but not a small Native American subgroup of lower Ontario. Searches elsewhere turn up similar results, making me believe very strongly that this is a hoax. Delete. —No-One Jones (m) 18:44, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Then blank, and write the article about what it is. Keep. The Recycling Troll 21:18, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Patent nonsense. ("Lower Ontario"? I live in Ontario and I don't know what that means!) I'm speedying. If someone wants to create a legitimate article about the legitimate meanings of hoatan, they can do it just as easily from a redlink as from an existing article. Bearcat 23:26, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
