The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. --

Delete as there's still been questionability about the factual information here, best deleted until a convincing case can be started again.
