Mount Malaueg

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Potential hoax.

I've performed Google, Google Books, Google News and Scholar searches and found no substantial results.

What I did find is that there is a town and a community called Malaueg. Both topics might be covered by their own articles.

Google maps coordinate, which is named "Mount Malaueg, Rizal, Cagayan", points to a river bed and has the Church of Malaueg as its picture.

Now for the terrain. The article claims that it is a 1092 meter mountain with the lowest elevation at 530 meters. Thing is, the area where the coordinates are pointing to is in a river bed and the general topography of the immediate area barely rise above 100 meters. Lenticel ( talk ) 00:49, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete = I think the nom is right about it being a hoax, but in any case there is no significant coverage. Indeed, other than pages that seem to source Wikipedia in one way or another, I cannot find any mention at all. Nothing in books, newspapers or other papers. Regardless of whether it is a hoax, it fails on significant coverage. The "was" in the page suggests the mountain has gone. The only way that could happen is with an extremely significant volcanic eruption which would surely have got quite a lot of coverage! Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:32, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete: per nomination. I don't find even a single notable source or reference. It looks like a WP:HOAX, so it should be deleted.  ❯❯❯  Chunky aka Al Kashmiri   (✍️) 19:38, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
