Inishbfin, between northern Ireland and the republic of Ireland

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a hoax article. There is no island as described. The whole thing is a work of fiction.  GNUSMAS :  TALK  18:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as G1, patent nonsense Jim Miller (talk) 18:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Obvious hoax. See recent edit history of Inishbofin, Donegal, where someone has tried to insert much the same nonsense. User:Tropicanmanofthesea has been blocked indefinitely for vandalism there. I assume the creator of this page is a reincarnation. Snalwibma (talk) 18:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. Absolute rubbish.--Damac (talk) 19:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * G3 Blatantly obvious hoax. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nonsense/fabrication. Selective copy and paste job from here. Subject on this blog is Inishinny (off Gweedore, a different island), but content is similarly inaccurate rubbish. (Even Inishinny is only JUST out from Dunmore Strand. You could wade it at low tide. And so the "in International waters, Ireland has no claim" assertion is total fabricated nonsense in either context.) Guliolopez (talk) 19:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: What is this? http://www.inishbofin.com/ - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:21, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be this. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * For the record, http://www.inishbofin.com/ is this, not this. Snalwibma (talk) 19:54, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. Hi Cobaltbluetony. Inishbofin exists. In fact, there are two of them: Inishbofin, Donegal (4 miles out) and Inishbofin, Galway (7 miles out). This article however is about some fabricated "Inishbofin island" which is (allegedly) 38 miles off the coast, in international waters, owned by a person named Cole (no doubt the childish hoaxer) and the site of zoological research. In short. It's nonsense. Guliolopez (talk) 19:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
