Leaveau Island (Massachusetts)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no such thing as Leaveau Island. Please don't create articles based on a Wikipedia list without checking first whether the list is correct or not. Perhaps it's a typo, perhaps it's a mistake or a hoax, but that's the responsability of the article creator, who has made similar errors in the recent past already.

 * Delete--a google search turned up nothing. Bali88 (talk) 13:39, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment It isn't all my responsibility, it is also whoever is adding the things to the lists on the page to make sure it is real. If there are this many fake things on lists, this needs to be worked on.--Old Time Music Fan (talk) 13:36, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * What lists are you talking about? Bali88 (talk) 13:39, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * In this case, probably List of islands of Massachusetts. In the previous case of Bobinarsha Orton City, Hawaii, he created it twice because it was on WikiProject United States/Requested Articles. I then noted on his talk page, at the end of the discussion, "I've deleted it again. If you recreate this again, you will be blocked. It is your responsability to make sure that a subject of a requested article really exists and warrants an article. Fram (talk) 08:07, 24 February 2014 (UTC)" It doesn't seem like Old Time Music Fan takes that responsability seriously. Fram (talk) 13:50, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, well if that's the case...just because someone requests an article doesn't mean it's acceptable. It's your responsibility to check this before creating. I looked through Old Time Music's history and there are several articles about non-notable geographic locations. They will most likely be deleted, FYI. Bali88 (talk) 15:53, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Maybe i should quit because everyone here is rude to me and no-one has ever helped me or said anything nice. --Old Time Music Fan (talk) 21:34, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * If you would like some help, let me know. I apologize if you have gotten a cold welcome. Why don't you start with some smaller edits or work on something in your sandbox and get some feedback on them before moving them into article space. You will develop a better idea of what is expected of wikipedia :-) Bali88 (talk) 22:08, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Smaller edits?--Old Time Music Fan (talk) 22:44, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * As opposed to creating new pages, you could find articles that need sources and improve the sources. Fix grammar and spelling, improve working, etc. until you get used to how wikipedia works. :-) Bali88 (talk) 22:47, 11 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete for failing WP:V. Google searches only get Wikipedia and its mirrors. USGS GNIS has no record of anything named Leaveau in Massachusetts. • Gene93k (talk) 19:07, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete: Quite aside from that this is a spurious "location," the article makes no assertion of notability.   Ravenswing   01:39, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per G3. Blatant and obvious hoax. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 02:08, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Doesn't exist. --Oakshade (talk) 05:12, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
