Waveney Campus University

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Almost certain hoax. Waveney Campus is a planned administrative/laboratory centre/regenration project in Lowestoft with no university element - see BBC article, CEFAS press release and developer website. The article creator may be confused, although similar content was added to the Lowestoft and Waveney pages. I would have prodded it, but the article creators talk page suggests that this may be opposed so it's probably best to go through AfD instead. Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:04, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename to University Campus Suffolk and improve. Delete It took me a while to disentangle this, but this piece in the Waveney Advertiser pointed me to the solution. The Waveney Campus scheme was abandoned at the end of 2009, and this is a different thing. --AJHingston (talk) 15:38, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Page already exists - at University Campus Suffolk and has content at Lowestoft College - trust me, this is a totally different entity that the editor who created it has either gotten confused about or has deliberately inserted a hoax about! Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:26, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Missed that - was in a hurry as I had a visitor. Have changed my vote to delete - probably not a deliberate hoax but a confusion between a scheme that Lowestoft College were discussing (the Waveney Campus) and what actually exists. A candidate for deletion on the grounds that it is just wrong. --AJHingston (talk) 23:17, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Looks like a deliberate hoax (author has been blocked as a sockpuppet); in any case, it's clear that though the Waveney Campus development exists there is no suggestion of a university there. JohnCD (talk) 15:33, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The article referred to is from 2008 and was about a planned scheme. However, it was abandoned in 2009. --AJHingston (talk) 16:05, 12 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The article is more probably an experiment  than a deliberate attempt at  a hoax. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:48, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
