Sigmund Hardy
No google hits on Sigmund Hardy or Riparian State of the Colorado. This is either a vanity article, a hoax, or both. Soltak 22:18, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, as above. I personally think likely hoax. www.anywho.com does not know of anyone named Sigmund Hardy in either California or Arizona. I do get exactly one Google hit on "Sigmund Hardy" but the circumstances are very odd. My preferences are set to search any language." I get a hit at a Dutch-language literature site, http://www.ned.univie.ac.at/lic/autor.asp?paras=/lg;1/aut_id;3443/. "Sigmund Hardy" does not show up visibly on the page, but it is hidden in the source text where it forms part of a popup menu. It is a list of separate items, but Google picks it up as "Thomas Carpenter, Edward Forster, EM Freud, Sigmund Hardy, Thomas Joyce". Get it? Forster, EM; Freud, Sigmund; Hardy, Thomas... I can't quite imagine anyone running across this by accident and using it as inspiration for a hoax, though. Anyway "Sigmund Hardy" will be a good Googlewhacking search item, at least until Google indexes the VfD article. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:53, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
