Leagurian Mountains

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

Outright hoax which appears to be a joke connected to the Appalachian League, a baseball league that's listed under See also. There are no mountains in the area described by the article, which is — rather tellingly — actually called the Hudson Bay Lowlands, and the image that was originally chosen to illustrate it was of a mountain in British Columbia. Despite the claim that this chain contains some of the highest mountains in Ontario, its highest peak is almost double the height of the actual highest point of land in the province — and despite the claim that it's a popular vacation area, the Hudson Bay area is remote and spectacularly difficult to reach in all three provinces in question. There was an attempt to speedy it, which was declined by an administrator. My own instinct would have been to just speedy the damn thing anyway, but WP:CSD does have that pesky little "hoaxes don't qualify" clause. Yaaaargh. Delete.

 * Speedy delete G3—blatant and obvious misinformation. Deor (talk) 15:28, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete A ridiculous and not very convincing hoax. The user who created it should be chastized for wasting other people's time.Skookum1 (talk) 16:52, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete G3 Vandalism. Sorry, but blatant hoaxes do qualify under this criterion, and WP:CSD says it rather plainly. The area around Hudson Bay is hard to reach, and that's for lack of roads due to the sparseness of the population. The land, which is part of the Canadian Shield, is more hilly than Florida or Kansas, but by other standards it qualifies as "flat." --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 18:15, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not really appropriate to respeedy something that already has a declined speedy in its edit history. FWIW. Bearcat (talk) 18:26, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete I was the one that placed the speedy delete template on that article, because it is a ridiculous article. Black Tusk (talk) 19:40, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
