Talk:Helltown, Ohio

Fake Article?
Nothing in the article is cited, the various claims are fairly ridiculous even by a paranormal standard (mutants?) and a quick trip to the external links shows them to be childish, unsourced, and apparently aimed a game or other non-factual enterpise. I'd guess this to be a fictional article intended to support a roleplaying game or ARG; can someone who knows how to do such things nominate it for deletion?

 * Actually after an extensive Google search I've found plenty of references to Helltown - all on open content sites, all unsourced, all written in the same kind of ninth-grade writing style and all urging readers to make some kind of personal investigation of the issue. Either it's a badly done Alternate Reality Game of some sort or everyone who's ever written about this place just happens to be a high school student. DustFormsWords (talk) 05:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ninth grade? More like fifth grade. Anyway, I can't help but think that this is a fake article as well. It's short and all it talks about is haunted shtuff. I think it's a bunch of chain-mail-type baloney ("If you read this..."), spread through stupid and/or gullible people over time. Shall we challenge the article for deletion?

Hellstory
Really? Hellstory instead of History? This seriously has to be a fake article. I've challenged the references but haven't quite stuck it on AfD. I haven't checked out the references, but the external links look like they'd be a bunch of baloney. Two of the URLs look like the same thing-- just another urban legend website. And Freewebs? Probably not the best reference. Venku Tur&#39;Mukan (talk) 15:09, 17 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Hellstory- it's old vandalism that nobody caught. Don't whine about it... fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.228.95.235 (talk) 23:58, 9 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I was bringing the issue to attention. I was not whining about it, I was complaining. Rarity (complaining vs. whining) in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Venku Tur&#39;Mukan (talk) 14:11, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

In addition, the Boston, Ohio link circles you back on this page. The Boston Township page never links to this page. For shame! This is why Wikipedia is challenged so often. Everybody can edit it. I can't call this vandalism, but I can't use this for any sort of research. I haven't been able to use Wikipedia (in reasearch projects for school) for years because of the unreliable information.
