Peru, officially called the “Republic of Peru,” is a country in western South America. Peru is bordered on the north by Ecuador and Columbia, on the east by Brazil, on the southeast by Bolivia, on the south by Chile and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. The capital and largest city of Peru is Lima. This country’s official language is spanish although a immense number of Peruvians speak a language called Quechua. From the 2007 censor the population of Peru altogether is 28,220,764. The Peruvian’s independence from Spain was declared on July 28, 1821. But it was recognized on the nineth of december in the year of 1824. This event is celebrated for two days and both days are said to be national holidays. The fesivals are always fun and jolly. In Peru the fesives begin with the president’s words to the nation. After that, as all Independence celebrations in the world go, they hoist the national flag followed by millitary parades, bullfights and lastly fireworks. Besides that, there are exibhitions and carnivals to go to, buy and look at national products and eat various types of food. However, the second day of Peru’s Independence –Day is celebrated mostly with their families and friends who get to gether to mostly have some fun. One of the many major holidays in Peru is celebrated on the first day of January. It is celebrated as “Entrega de Varas.” It is an official and ancient ceremony that gives the oppurtunity to see the highland native elders of the city of Cusco in full traditional costumes. The costumes are of different colors and shapes from city to city. Some cities have their women wear black skirts embrioded with black and red. Other cities have their women wear layers of petticoats made from cotton which can be embroidered with gold and silver threads under their skirts. They would sing and dance in their own ways beautifully and elegantly. Throughout the festival, Chicha or maize beer and other beverages are consumed. The fun and excitement in the grand ‘Plaza de Armas’ which is in the center of the city is as it was in the Inca times. Another major occurrence takes place yearly on throughout the whole month of October. This event is called “Our Lord of Miracles” or the “Purple Christ.” This day is called this, because of an immense earthquake that took place and destroyed the capital of Peru but, amazingly a picture of the Purple Christ was unaffected and unharmed. On this day a painting of a dark colored Christ is carried on an elaborate bier through the streets of the city. There are concerts and fireworks that brighten the night’s sky. Many admirers and devotees crowd the streets drawn by the saint’s reputation for healing. This is an overwhelming sight, filled with emotion and alive with the saint’s color, a rich purple. I don’t know what type of music Peruvians listen to or what they wear at that time. This is an event full of Latin flavor. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peru#Culture - http://www.123independenceday.com/peru/ - http://extensionenespanol.net/articles.cfm?articleid=117 - http://www.iexplore.com/dmap/Peru/Events;$sessionid$QBVPBGA AAP5MUP2MN5XCFEQ

The page was original called the Republic of Peru.
How it was deleted G1, I do not know. It does not fit that definition by a mile.
Is this article possibly a hoax? Or a POV fork? I don't know, it is outside of my area of expertise, but it is clearly well done if it is. I would propose a merge with Peru and let the people familiar with Peru determine the validity of the claims in this article. If necessary they can get what is important and add to Peru, create the redirect, and/or delete as necessary.
