The result was TNT delete, because of issues such as verifiability and concerns about hoaxing. As with any other TNT-deleted page about an obviously notable subject, creation of a new page about Bertha is welcome. Nyttend ( talk) 14:04, 17 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Created by user as part of a series of questionable edits creating non-existent places in Illinois and Florida. The USGS link actually takes you to the page on Slavia, Florida, a real place, with no mention of Bertha. Smartyllama ( talk) 17:05, 29 June 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete with WP:TNT. This follows the same pattern as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Innisbrook, Florida. 1. Start with a real populated place (GNIS 294680). 2. Move the location. 3. Add bogus citations. 4. Add large amounts of unsourced and dubious information. This is part a string of 90% hoax articles. • Gene93k ( talk) 19:18, 29 June 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep real place, USGS recognized, I found the link with a little search. Yes, it had a false link, now it has a real one. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 22:39, 30 June 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Even with the GNIS information fixed, nothing beyond the first paragraph is verifiable. Aside from there being a U6 unincorporated community at that location, the article is still substantially a hoax. • Gene93k ( talk) 10:10, 3 July 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per WP:TNT. It's a real place, but sorting the real information from the fake is tricky enough that we might as well start a new article from scratch. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 00:50, 2 July 2016 (UTC) reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete, it is a USGS populated place listed in GNIS, but all that means is it was a dot on a map. The location has no boundary. There is no CDP with that name and there is no mention of Bertha on the county website. The map boundaries ( File:BerthaFlorida.png) that were added for it appear to be completely made up. The basemap, that the uploader copied but neglected to credit, ( c:File:Seminole County Florida Incorporated and Unincorporated Areas.svg) was based on Census maps and shows that area as unincorporated. Namesake item is uncited for a person that lived 150 miles away from this location. -- Dual Freq ( talk) 22:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as there's still been questionability about the factual information here, best deleted until a convincing case can be started again. SwisterTwister talk 18:46, 15 July 2016 (UTC) reply
