There does seem to be a hunting camp with more or less the right name, but the only website I could find for it ([1]) doesn't mention this story, and the only mentions of the tale I could find were a tourism site that could just as well be recycling our content and a compendium of Wikipedia articles. Of course the article lacks citations; it was created by an IP years ago. I don't know that this is a hoax but I don't see enough evidence to believe the story.

  • Keep but Purge With Fire, Rename, and RewriteDelete: The story about the Russians appears to be a hoax, or at the very least hard-failing WP:V. The existiance of "Mallo Camp", however, is easily verified: see this gBooks search which clearly establishes Mallo Camp as a place, independent of the motel. As a geographical location and, it appears, a populated place, this likely falls under the remit of Wikipedia's status as a gazzeteer. It needs to be renamed to Mallo Camp, Wyoming and have all the junk about Russians removed though. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:53, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • That sounds to me like a "delete and write some other article" outcome. Mangoe (talk) 10:12, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. My reading of the SALT I treaty text is that verification was to be made by National technical means of verification, which in those days in the late 1970s meant primarily imagery intelligence. On-site inspections were not contemplated until the INF treaty, years later. SALT II never went into force. Therefore the reference to Russian inspectors is a hoax.

  • Delete per Buckshot. A solid and reliable source is needed to support something like this. Nick-D (talk) 02:02, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I concur with the above. No facts prove this. Jrcrin001 (talk) 00:15, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Google searches for a variety of keywords, e.g. (mallo soviet missile inspector) yield no results. Per Buckshot06's argument, this feels rather hoaxsome. In any case: no evidence of notability. Ammodramus (talk) 18:26, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
