Ambrose Park, New South Wales

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This seems to be a hoax; searches find nothing but WP mirrors, and online maps do not show this suburb, nor do they show the reserve after which it is said to be named. The Postcodes Australia site doesn't find it. (The postcode given seems to cover the whole of Nowra). See also the article talk page. The author edited only on a single day three years ago, and his only other contribution ACT Hybrid Vehicle Authority also seems to be a hoax (see AfD above). At best, this fails WP:N and WP:V.

 * Delete the reserve exists but it is gazetted as Ambrose Golden-Brown Park and was in fact named after "the first Aborigine elected to Shoalhaven City Council" (Geographical Names Board of New South Wales), but isn't marked on maps. I do have to question the photo as well since it doesn't match the houses seen on Google Maps, the house roofs are different colours on Google but the photos shows them differently and the road is a white colour were as on Google it is a grey/black.

 * Delete at least part-hoax. While it is still the silly season my guess for the picture is one of the 1980s dormitory suburbs south of Strasbourg/Metz in France (Crusoe8181 (talk) 05:53, 29 December 2010 (UTC)).
 * Delete No evidence that a suburb with this name exists. Melburnian (talk) 02:13, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax, amazing how such a fake and suspiciously written article survives... Not for long. Would like to see the article rescue squadron have a go at this. LibStar (talk) 08:39, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
