Ramakapa

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No evidence for existence of this village (in South Africa anyway, I see a few hits for a location in India). This is either a hoax or extremely non-notable. Only "support" comes from a account registered solely for the purpose of supporting the article, providing a link which doesn't support a word of the article. Per WP:SPI/Backsllash, this appears to be a case of socking or meatpuppetry. &mdash;ShadowRanger (talk 11:58, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of existence, let alone notability. Creation of the article, editing it, and support on its talk page come from Matapula, Boanergesza1, and Jamie s alexander, none of whom have any other editing history. I think it's 99% probable this is a hoax and the three accounts are sockpuppets, but in the very remote chance that I am wrong then it's totally non-notable. The one link given in the article as a "reference" is a link to a page which does not even mention Ramakapa. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:43, 30 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Note See Sockpuppet investigations/Backsllash/Archive, where it is decided that all of the three accounts mentioned above have been created by users involved in sockpuppetry, though perhaps two sockpuppeteers rather than one. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:05, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete This isn't listed in any of the international geographic names databases and is entirely unreferenced. Because of the sockpuppeting involved, this is most likely a hoax; if it's not, it's not notable anyway. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 22:06, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete It doesn't even sound like an African name (it sounds Indian), and SA's official gazetteer turns up nothing. Orderinchaos 03:47, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
