Canadian Heritage Leaf[edit]

The article is unsourced, similar to the hoax created at Canadian Vintage Leaf Flag. The article sources do not even mention about this "heritage" leaf and are just random links to hockey sites. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:24, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Seems to be pure hoax, the claims are unsourced and the one I checked was false. The Canadian hockey team uses an 11 point standard leaf. Possibly worthy of speedy deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huadpe (talk • contribs) 04:15, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Its a hoax. No ghits outside of Wikipedia. That's a good sign that this is a hoax. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 04:55, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As Doc Strange also discovered, I have not found any ghits for "Canadian Heritage Leaf" outside of Wikipedia. The sources cited in the article, as Zscout370 stated, do not talk about a "Canadian Heritage Leaf" at all. As a result, I believe the article breaks WP:V, and WP:OR.

Delete Almost certainly a hoax. Very few Google results. — Wenli ^{(reply here)} 23:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- All are Wikipedia mirrors. I wish I caught this sooner. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 06:08, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I left the one link [1] to show that Hockey Canada will continue to use in its words "the all-important Hockey Canada heritage logo" which uses the Heritage Leaf. It has also been called and sold as the Vintage Leaf [2], but Hockey Canada has officially designated it as indicated. Not sure what further information is needed to maintain the article - any help in preventing deletion and not just criticism would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Likemike1 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to National Flag of Canada and/or National symbols of Canada. I'm surprised at the people calling it a hoax, this article is just Original research. Of course this version of the maple leaf was used at previous Olympics and in other ways and is still used in "throw-back" versions. Failing Reliable sources, however, means it is difficult to write an article at this time. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
