Corona County, California

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Was an attempt at seceding (sp?) from Riverside County that never got up any muster. Only mention that the article links to is in a paper based out of Santa Barbara, California - which is over four hours' drive away from the closest point in Corona (its border with Yorba Linda) to Santa Barbara if you're driving. A google search turns up nothing significant related to this. Had a small flurry when it was created two years ago, but that's about it.  Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 20:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I took a good look at the paper for Santa Barbara, it only mentions in brief Corona looking at its budget. The article has nothing to do with it.  I'm calling WP:HOAX accordingly, this bogosity has existed for far too long. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 20:09, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The newspaper article linked to mentions this happened. You driving around the county talking to the wrong people ("I never heard this happened, so it must be false") constitutes original research. Nardman1 20:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Took a second look, and you're right, it is mentioned in passing at least, so I retract my comment above. Note, I'm in Seattle - there's no conceivable way I can do a man-on-the-street poll of Coronans.  Problem is that, from what research on Google I've done, little more than that the city government talked about it has turned up.  Be happy to change my mind, though, if something more than "we're seeing if it's feasible" comes up.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 23:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename to Proposal to create Corona County, California, Corona County was apparently an idea that never materialized; there has never been a Corona County and may never be a Corona County. What there was was a proposal to create one. The article is misleading in stating that the "county" was the site of anything; for nothing ever has happened in Corona County, California; things may have happened in the areas proposed to be included in such a county, but alas the county is nothing but a failed proposal.

 * Merge and redirect to Corona, California. Someguy1221 08:48, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, it seems to be a bit late to withdraw, but given the options, I like this one better. =^^= -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 16:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
