Possible hoax; reference does not support text of article ScottyBerg (talk) 22:13, 24 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I am not sure how to add to this ... but hopefully this works ... I live in Hamilton and am trying to raise awareness of this affliction. I felt as though references regarding the Lung Association would be adequate, as anyone looking at this page would likely be looking for help, and the Lung Association is a good place to start. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamilton Life (talk • contribs) 22:22, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Either this is a hoax, or an article which fails to treat its subject seriously and accurately. Note that the original article creator wrote that cases of the Hamilton Lung disease are "associated with very bad dental hygiene and severely misguided hairstyles and clothing". Although residents of Hamilton may indeed suffer from lung problems associated with industrial pollution (see this article), this article gives no reason to believe that such problems are different from those suffered by residents of other industrial cities, nor that such illness is associated with unattractive clothing and hairstyles. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:23, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as possible hoax. If not, then delete for a lack of significant coverage and notability. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:11, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as hoax. Edward321 (talk) 21:09, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It looks that way. I had a shadow of a doubt, but it wasn't much. ScottyBerg (talk) 21:17, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it will now die of CSD Cancer. I just tagged it as G3, as it is almost definitely a hoax. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:51, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I see that it's been speedied. If it wasn't for that sole reference, I'd have tagged it myself. I guess this needs to be closed. ScottyBerg (talk) 14:31, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
