Finnsville, Wisconsin

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Finnsville isn't a real community. It isn't listed in the Geographic Names Information System, it turns up just 6 non-WP Google results, and there's no mention of a community by the name in any books or official state documents. Based on this picture, the community is a joke made up by a tavern rather than an actual place. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per OP. That about sums up what I can see.  -- Jayron  32  02:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Private home of occupants named Finn. Not an unincorporated town, just the wicked sense of humor of the occupants. Cindamuse (talk) 02:46, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Even a "joke" can pass our guidelines, but this one doesn't as far as I can tell. --Oakshade (talk) 03:17, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax which fails WP:V and WP:N. Gimme a break. Edison (talk) 04:24, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Someone's hoaxing us; there's no other town within twenty miles of Bayfield unless you cross over to La Pointe in the Apostle Islands.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 05:35, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I check the Wisconsin Historical Society in the Dictionary of Wisconsin History and there was no mention of Finnsville. Also there no mention of Finnsville in the DeLorme Wisconsin Atlas and Gazateer. I agree with Cindamuse about the humor of the residents. Thank you-RFD (talk) 11:43, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The photograph above of the "Finnsville, Population 2" sign outside someone's house says it all... Carrite (talk) 15:55, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
