Unnotable hoax, with one piece about its uncovering and one primary "source" that is the original hoax article. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:25, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Reference 1 cites Wikipedia, and Reference 2 is the hoax itself. Nothing else could be found. Clearly a non-notable hoax, and the article creates the risk of misinformation, considering how many sites scrape Wikipedia for data about towns and localities.

Comment 3 incoming links at Benjamin Orr (Massachusetts politician), White Pine Series of Architectural Monographs, and List of ghost towns in New Hampshire, which should be checked for hoax info or might also serve as redirect target. – sgeureka ^t•c 10:06, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. It's strange that the official biography in the Benjamin Orr article mentions New Milford; it could mean Milford, NH, but someone would have to do more research. Best just to de-link there and remove the item from the list of ghost towns. Ken Gallager (talk) 12:40, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to New Hampshire/Milford, New Hampshire or perhaps best to White Pine Series of Architectural Monographs. There may not be enough here for stand-alone article, but the information itself can be preserved on Wikipedia. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not merge to Milford, New Hampshire. The fake community was described as being in a region that is more than 100 miles away from Milford. The only relation is that people in Milford detected the hoax. Ken Gallager (talk) 13:41, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. There isn't enough coverage for a separate article. I could see a mention somewhere, but not at the real town, which is questionably related. A mention in White Pine Series of Architectural Monographs may be fine. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to White Pine Series of Architectural Monographs, where it is already covered, seems the best approach. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:56, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
