Fudge, Kentucky

Its utter nonsense, has no GNIS entry in Fulton and the External links were a Sesame Street locatorm with Grover pointing to nowhere and a 380 page soil survey with NO word, Fudge in it Coal town guy (talk) 00:31, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - about the closest thing that seems to exist in the way of a source is a comment on this blog post calling it a hoax. Also, this person smelled something fishy, but only edited the article. Chris857 (talk) 00:56, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - only "sources" refer to the Wikipedia article itself, and it looks like a hoax. Ansh666 03:29, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No reliable sources to be found; there's nothing in the GNIS, nothing on maps, no book sources, and nothing on the internet but a few forums claiming this is a hoax. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 05:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I think there is an excellent chance that this was a named town in Kentucky, which would imply a keep, if confirmed, but I am not finding anything which positively confirms its existence. Delete without prejudice to recreation if sourcing confirming the town's existence later materializes. Carrite (talk) 16:19, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Even if this exists (which is doubtful given this line from in the article: "As of July, 2011, no photos of this location are available online, nor have any coordinates been proposed."), would it meet notability standards? I know the unincorporated communities of Fulton County all have their own articles for some reason, but those are current and this was according to the article abandoned after the 1860s as more or less uninhabitable (which makes it all the less likely as well).

Reply to comment - I created the artiles for the unincorporated communities today. ALL of them. Thery are notable because some had post offices which are not documented, AND it fulfills the Wiki function of being a Gazeteer(sp?) if you will. The reason I did that, was NOBODY else was, and its fun, ever been to Fulton County? The reason, Fudge has to go, as that it promotes the stereotype of an isolated Kentucky community where the residents watch sports casts and yuck it up with Snuffy Smith on their porches. NOT my fault we had 3 wiki projects thinking that Grover pointing to a map location ala the Sesame Street locator was OK. SORRY. Odd how the other staes do not attract scrutiny on this levelCoal town guy (talk) 21:59, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This seems to be a pretty clear case of WP:HOAX. Perhaps there was previously a community named Fudge, but it is not verifiable in any way. TB randley 04:38, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
