Just search "Chief Leaping Trout" anywhere, you will find only this page to be the source.  Occult Zone  ( Talk ) 01:19, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per G3-pure vandalism and blatant hoaxes. I am thoroughly convinced this article is a hoax. Neither Google, JSTOR nor Google books has any entries on Chief Leaping Trout. The fact that the file name of his picture is Keokuk.jpg and that it is used in the article Keokuk (Sauk leader) should also be considered a tip off. (I ran a quick Google search on Keokuk. He is in fact real and meets notability requirements). The book listed in this article exists, but I seriously, seriously doubt Chief Leaping Trout is in there. To the contrary, the article author probably just selected the most valid sounding book source s/he could and fraudulently claimed that Chief Leaping Trout was in there, knowing few people would own the book and be able to point this falsehood out.

 * Speedy Delete as hoax: Article appears to be copied from Neapope, with Neapope's name substituted. LionMans Account (talk) 02:52, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
