Hogback Mountains

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article is probable hoax. Cannot find Hogback Mountains in GNIS. Article contains dubious claims (multiple Sierras? mushrooms?). Article created as sole edit by user, whose user page is also gibberish. —hike395 (talk) 01:52, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article fails to mention any specific location for these mountains; the "Bera Mountains" adjacent to them don't appear to be a recognized place either. Zetawoof (&zeta;) 02:15, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. No entry in GNIS for California or Nevada. There is a listing for the [ Hogback Mountains] in Vermont. So Delete or make it a redirect to Hogback Mountain (Vermont) or something. The mountain in Vermont is in the Hogback Mountains. – droll   &#91;chat&#93;  02:41, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy with a redirect to Hogback Mountain (Vermont). Good find. —hike395 (talk) 03:26, 31 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - In a sample of California Place Names: The Origin and Etymology of Current Geographical Names, it states under "Hogback" there's a "Hogback Ridge" in Death Valley National Park, a "Hogback Peak" in Kings Canyon National Park and a "plain Hogback" in Sonoma County. None of these fit the description of the location stated in the article. --Oakshade (talk) 03:54, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
