Three claims about name origin, one silly-toned, two authoritative, one speculative.
"Named by Russell Heerkens in 1822 after his favorite food but pronounced incorrectly." (authoritative claim. unsourced.)

"Chili was named after the country of Chile which was striving for independence at the time." (authoritative claim. unsourced.)

"Some suggest that the town was named after the Chiliasts religion embraced by some of the early settlers of South Chili." (speculative claim. unsourced.)

"This is still controversial as there is no evidence to either side." (note there are THREE claims)

These four sentences... do not work in a single article. And these claims are repeated verbatim in random places across the web, making this a case of citogenesis in the making.

I suggest only listing the Chile and Chiliast claims (as speculative), and linking to this article by the Chili town historian as the source for both. 2601:19E:4500:DE60:9928:2869:D3CA:9B7F (talk) 16:11, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
