Wallington canal

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

Possible hoax article. There is no Wallington canal. Google gives few hits, all from Wikipedia. The majority of the text seems to be a reworking of Croydon Canal, and the sources provided do not specifically mention a canal in Wallington, and mention Wallington itself only in passing.

 * Delete almost certainly a hoax. Jack1956 (talk) 10:38, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Very possibly a hoax; if not, it's certainly not notable anyway.  Celarnor Talk to me  12:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Probable hoax; not even a funny one. --Alchemy12 (talk) 15:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Badly-spelt hoax. References 2, 3 and 4 say nothing relevant; reference 5 is about Yorkshire, 200 miles away. JohnCD (talk) 17:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree, looks highly like a hoax. If not, at the least it's non-notable, and the refs given don't even back up the info. -- Jamie  S93  23:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
