United Latter-day Church of Jesus Christ

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This organization is almost certainly a hoax. The only references used for the article that mention the church are internet websites from geocities and the like. Brooke Adams, who covers polygamy and polygamous groups for the Salt Lake Tribune has stated on her blog that she's pretty sure it is a hoax because she's only really seen it on Wikipedia and none of her contacts in the world of Mormon fundamentalism have heard of it either. I'm relatively familiar with the sects within the Latter Day Saint movement, and honestly, the only time I have ever heard of this group is on Wikipedia. I don't think it's even a notable hoax, as Adams's blog comment is the only real discussion I can find about it. All google hits seem to be self-published promotion or mirrors of WP information. I note also that it has been a select few editors who have added most the material about this church in various WP articles, like Mormon fundamentalism, etc. Even if it is not a hoax, it may not meet the notability threshold anyway.

 * Delete per nom. Likely hoax. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:52, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete this is probably the worst kind of hoax as it's sneaky and easy to miss. Extrude all info from other articles as well. JuJube (talk) 00:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes: and if the delete is successful there are some follow-up articles that I will nominate. I believe there's an article for every past leader of the group and possibly a few others. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete vandalism. At first glance it looks pretty slick, but all references are self-published. Good detective work by nom. justinfr (talk/contribs) 17:24, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
