Cranmore chase

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I did a web search on Yahoo and it only had results on homes on a street in Georgia with the same name on websites having houses for sale (e.g., Zillow), and it also lacks references to prove if the event ever happened. Therefore, this article is most likely a hoax. Snowager (talk) 06:23, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Delete. It's survived on Wikipedia for 4+ years now, but this is a hoax. There are no references to this supposedly famous event in any form. Moreover, there are no indications that either of the landowners or the runners (no Google hits at all for the name Radforyde outside mirrors of this article) ever existed. There's apparently one Google reference to the name Everard Creech in a totally unrelated novel, but that's all. To top it off, the India Mutiny had already occurred prior to the supposed events in the article. 66.177.64.39 (talk) 13:37, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Regardless of whether it's a hoax, it fails WP:V and WP:GNG. Bearian (talk) 15:01, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
