The result was speedy delete. Blatant hoax. As an Alaskan this is perhaps more obvious to me, this is so full of errors and outright fabrications that there is no chance it is not just a ball of lies. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:33, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a hoax. Unfortunately it has been here for over two years (congratulations to new user Praemonitus (talk), who tagged it), so mirrors have spread it quite widely, but I can find no independent confirmation. The name is not in Geonames, nor is it in the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World. I have not found any record of the "East Alaska Oil Co." If their operations at Cayperl were "incredibly successful" and controversial, exciting "strong interest and campaigning", there would surely be some record on-line. The article author has only four other edits, none of them constructive. JohnCD (talk) 20:22, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
