Lawrence Farmstead

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While I'm not an expert on the NRoHP system (I'm British), this article seems to be a hoax. The cited link is actually for a different building in North Carolina. Google search turns up no building of that name except for this in a separate town 45 miles from Lawrenceville. (The construction dates are different so it is a not the building of this article.) I'm not familiar with the geography of New Jersey, but I see Lawrenceville is in Mercer County, and there is no building of that name on its NROHP list here or here or on the state government website. .

 * Probably delete - there isn't enough information here to determine whether the specific building exists. I've also checked the register as suggested by the NOM, and there seems to be several it could be referring to, but none seem to fit the information as currently appears on the WP page. I'm thinking someone has either got the name slightly wrong, or the wrong town/address or something. Trying to assume good faith, I'm thinking this is probably just a mistake (and/or a project someone started but didn't later return to and correct) rather than a deliberate hoax.

 * - Yes good point. I'm afraid I forgot to leave a message on the user's talk page once I spotted this. Have contacted them to reassure that the article will be kept if they have sources. Blythwood (talk) 15:27, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete as a likely hoax. There is no such listing or historic district in Mercer County, New Jersey. Nothing listed there in 1999. The bogus reference clinches it. • Gene93k (talk) 18:32, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Additional comment. I just tagged the article for a WP:G3 speedy. It is Foscue and Simmons Plantations with the names changed. • Gene93k (talk) 08:45, 19 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete - I would concur. Searching on google brings up this which has the same content as this page. However when searching the source actual name for the historical place, it listed it near Dallas, Texas, not in New Jersey; which is completely a different place. The place in New Jersey seems nothing more than a local country club and may be an easy mistake.  A dog 104  Talk to me 05:50, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
