Wilpower volcano chain

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Verifiability, no original research: The seven Wikipedia pages devoted exclusively to the “Wilpower Volcano Chain” and the alleged volcano “Terry” should be deleted, and all references to these alleged volcanoes in other pages should be removed from Wikipedia due to lack of external references about the existence of these volcanoes, lack of geological evidence that these features are volcanoes, geological evidence that these features are unlikely to be volcanoes, and disregard of geographic naming conventions.

 * Delete all as unverified OR. Whether or not this is a hoax, it fails for lack of an independently verified source showing that the conclusions have been subject to the appropriate academic scrutiny. AJHingston (talk) 12:31, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, probably speedy as obvious hoax. The authorless Amazon.com book looks like a hoax insertion itself.  Nothing about the Geography of Manitoba suggests a volcano chain there, and most of Manitoba is in the Archean Canadian Shield, which makes claims of Holocene volcanism seem unlikely.  My strong suspicion is that there's a family named Wilpower and that these pages are a joke at there expense, which would suggest another ground for speedy deletion. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:17, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Being in the Canadian Shield does not mean all rocks in the Canadian Shield were formed during the Archean. There was volcanic activity in the Canadian Shield during the Triassic (Churchill kimberlite field), Jurassic (Lake Timiskaming kimberlite field, Kirkland Lake kimberlite field, Churchill kimberlite field) and even the Cretaceous and Eocene (Lac de Gras kimberlite field). Further volcanism in the Canadian Shield is possible, though likely by millions of years.  Volcano guy  18:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as the creator of these articles. I was not sure if this "Wilpower volcano chain" was true and the webpages that were used as sources seem to have been deleted. According to a student of the Geological Survey of Canada, there is no "Wilpower volcano chain" in Manitoba.  Volcano guy  18:06, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * oops how embarrassed am I? I added the authorless book ref that Smerdis refers to before I realised what it was. It was not a hoax - just inclusionist enthusiam on my part - sorry ppl. Mark   Dask
