Anydro

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The existence of the topic of the article, the river Anydro, is questionable. The creator of the article, User:Pumpie, was blocked for making hundreds of questionable edits, without giving sources. In his edit summary, he wrote that the article is a translation of a Greek Wikipedia article, but this does not exist. Markussep ^Talk 18:58, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2013 March 17. Snotbot t • c » 19:24, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is a Greek Wiki article: Anidro Phthiotidas (in Greek)... but it's wholly unsourced except for a song. An-hydro of course means "without water", a curious name for a river. There is a real village of that name in Phthiotis at (38.922825,22.702031) and there does seem to be a watercourse there. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:49, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to the article, the river is in Elis, Peloponnese, not in Phthiotis. I suspect Pumpie just mistranslated something he found somewhere on the internet. Markussep ^Talk 22:03, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete With no sources or evidence there can not be an article. Kitfoxxe (talk) 03:44, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - agree. Having done a basic search, there is nothing by that name (the Greek name) in the region referred to in the article. If it exists, it's somewhere else. Either way, as Kitfoxxe rightly points out, we need sources and there are none. Stalwart111 04:30, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - yes, the best that can be said is that it's based on a muddle. As it is, it's unsourced and made-up. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:27, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If the existence of a geographic feature is in question to this degree, it's best to say better safe than sorry and remove it as a potential hoax. Ducknish (talk) 18:19, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
