Fubumquat[edit]

I can find no references either for the fruit or for the tree. If it exists, it must be original research, and hence ineligible for wikipedia.--Anthony.bradbury 00:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — The author claims that there exists evidence to back the claim - but there's nothing about it online! Even about the fumber tree - there's no scientific data whatsoever to support this article. Delete, until the author finds something to verify this. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 00:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:V ( and there were some date changes in the history which add to the feeling it is a hoax). Yomangani ^talk 01:15, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as this tree sounds an awful lot like a kumquat, and accordingly sounds a lot like something made up in school one day. --Dennisthe2 05:09, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete, obvious hoax, author's only contrib(s). Zero Google hits for fubumquat, limebumquat, etc. I'm going to keep an eye on this user. --MCB 06:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, most probably a hoax, the genus comes from SE Asia, why should this one originate in Mali? DAHordle 09:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per the above. Unless the author can provide some evidence of it, this is at best unverifiable, but most likely a Hoax. --- The Bethling ^(Talk) 21:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. —Jared Hunt September 24, 2006, 23:13 (UTC)
Delete per above. --Ludvig 01:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; obvious hoax. Mentioned in Ivorian "folk tales dating to the 5th century", in spite of Ivorian history only being traceable back to the 1460s. ergot 16:02, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
