St. Erasmus and St. Elmo's

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No references and unable to confirm it exists. It is categorized as fictional island and there is a note on the talk page that someone was unable to verify it. Text does not say where it is located making it even harder to attempt to confirm. so, unreferenced, orphaned, and with a long term 'insufficient context' tag. RJFJR (talk) 19:20, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - This is a hoax. There is a little island with this name in a Venice lagoon (Isola di Sant'Erasmo). It certainly was never colonized by the British nor did it have The Saint Erasmus Times. This has been around since 2006 and should go into the Hall of Shame. —Мандичка YO 😜 20:08, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete The "fictional island" appears to be from a non-notable defunct pirate role-playing game, Shiver My Timber, according to this 2006 ad . Perhaps this goes more to advertising than hoax, but it should go either way. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 21:31, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Since this game doesn't appear to have achieved any notoriety beyond livejournal fandom, and there's no mention of it being fictitious in the article, its inclusion in WP seems rather hoaxy. —Мандичка YO 😜 23:03, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Deleted - Blatant bullshit. Reaper Eternal (talk) 23:06, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
