This is honestly a little baffling. I came across this entry while following my bot doing updates in Alabama palce articles. On the surface it looks perfectly normal and legit - but a little investigation seems to indicate this is an elaborate hoax. There does appear to be a place called Saginaw in Shelby County, but it is either an unincorporated community or a neighborhood in Alabaster. It is not a city, it has never had a mayor, does not have any population or area according to the Census bureau. As far as the Census bureau is concerned this place doesn't exist. I find it perplexing that someone would go to the trouble of fabricating an exhaustive list of city officials, demographic information and city government information, but whatever the motivation, it is just that - fabricated in its entirety.

It is a quite strange case scenario here; one of a complete different kind of a mystery; yet it still holds the scent of a mysterious event. Meldshal42 20:42, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Included in this nomination is a related (and similiarly fictitious) list of mayors.
