Standing Stones of Lougheed

Completing the nomination process requested by an unregistered user, who gave the following rationale:

I would like to propose the Standing Stones of Lougheed article for deletion. It appears to be a hoax. The link is broken for Reference #1. Reference #2 shows an ancient stone circle at a location other than this one (about 8 km away). The link to Reference #4 is broken, and I cannot find evidence of such a document anywhere on the Web. The article states that the boulders are ancient. While any boulder is obviously ancient, the placement of these particular boulders is modern. The article states that the stones are in First Nations territory. This is true for the stones as it is for the entire City of Burnaby (that the stones are located in). There's nothing particular about this site. I contacted the landscape architect responsible for placement of the stones. She indicated that there was no special significance to the boulders. They were simply meant to accompany the adjoining rapid transit station. If the page is deleted, reference to the stones on List of stone circles should also be removed. Thanks.

I vote delete because I cannot find anything significant or substantial about this set of boulders and Mr. IP is absolutely right. Trying to look for reliable sources only comes up with travel tips, unofficial data information, Wikipedia mirrors, and tourist photos. No evidence of meeting WP:GNG and nothing in the article is verifiable. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 21:57, 29 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete the stones may be real but the rest of the article is probably made up, per the nom. --Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 23:16, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm coming to the same conclusion. The stones are obviously there but I have not found any description about them. So, the topic does not seem to meet our notability guidelines and in this particular case I think the article should be deleted rather than merged or redirected anywhere.
