Browntown, Alabama

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is an odd one; it appears to be someone's SimCity. It looks to me like a copy of Abbeville, Alabama with some modifications made; the geolinks coordinates point there, much of the demographics section is the same, and the radio station mentioned is also there. The references given don't contain any sign of a 'Browntown' (anywhere in the U.S. as an incorporated community, for that matter), and a google search only brings up a few small towns in Jackson and Walker Counties, both far away from its stated location in Henry County. The roads listed are also all over the place, and (save one) not near the listed location. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 21:32, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per Ten Pound Hammer. Appears to be WP:HOAX. And a nicely odd discovery, Spyder_Monkey. — Cactus Writer |   needles  21:54, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment According to the GNIS, there are three Browntowns in Alabama: one in Autauga County; one in Jackson County; and one in Walker County — although Autauga County is much closer, it's still in the middle of the state. I echo CactusWriter's praise for the nominator.  Nyttend (talk) 23:25, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
