The Californias

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

The article is one of Wikipedia's longest running hoaxes (about 8 years, 11 months). This is a blatant and notable hoax per WP:HOAX. Deletion is mandatory. The article maintains a fictional "The Californias Province" by rearranging material pasted from real articles (Baja California and California) to make the hoax seem real.

The article has been voted for deletion before under earlier titles, for example: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Las Californias Province. The author of the hoax, User:WCCasey and/or sockpuppets, recreated the article with redirects to circumvent the decision. An earlier incarnation of the hoax in the same manner circumvented deletion by creation of two nearly identical articles, then merging them (see Talk:The Californias).

Delete should be speedy per CSD G4 (it is a repost of a deleted article). Wyeson 09:15, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The Californias is obviously a hoax. Everyone in California older than eight years old knows that Baja and Alta California were never one country. WCCasey made it up and she and all her Sockpockets should be pemanently blocked for vandalism. This article was already deleted four times before, but WCCasey keeps recreating her hoax in violation of Wikipedia's policy. 07:56, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
