Most probably info from a private server that found its way past the block of info from private servers applied by the wowhead client.

the wow head submission client takes your drops etc and uploads them to the database its how the drop charts are formed i believe]
someone has been on some private servers and uploaded it so it ended up on wowhead

I think he is not telling the truth it is still up :S
Just because it wasn't taken down doesn't mean it wasn't looked into. It could very well be a valid item. Half of the items on the WoW servers are un-linkable.

Well if it was in the game files and showing up now you think someone besides this database would have got it via data mining, and I have yet to see a mention of it elsewhere.
Edit: Also to get items that you "can't link" are you get the item and then click on the link that pops up and it will show the tooltip and might take a second to load then you can link it, works for all real items.
not in most cases. before anyone on US realms killed Algalon, u could not link any of the items he could drop.
When the word was out that he was killed in US. i could link and view
all
the items dropped by Algalon.

It's very likely that the item could be real, and it's also likely that the item could be fake. Corgan is correct and the reasoning that "someone besides this database would have got it" isn't really any indication. In any case, this item has already since been "removed" per se, as in that it is only accessable via direct link to the URL. Searching for "Wild Axe" will not bring it up, and it shouldn't show in any listviews. And unless I can be absolutely positively convinced that the item doesn't "exist," that's how it's going to remain.

Do you guys not have any kind of metadata that indicates the source of this or that entity in your databases?

It works for "all real items
that have been seen since the server last restarted
" important difference.
edit: Killed the quote pyramid...

except that she's perfectly correct. There isn't a way to actually prove that the item is not real, short of looking at the cache information that added the item to the database in the first place. Is it likely that the item is legit? Absolutely not. Is it possible that it's legit? Yes.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=17782
Case in point. That item
IS
real but it's no longer obtainable. Only one exists in the entire game, on a single server, and on an account that is no longer played (iirc).
The fact that it has such a low item ID and does not fit any of the other patterns Blizzard has used for throwing weapons lends strong credence to the idea that it IS a fake, but there's absolutely no way to prove that since all item information is stored server side. That, of course, means that we are in a catch22. Specifically, we have the "does god exist?" question. There is no way to disprove that the item is legit, only to prove it, but if the item no longer drops it becomes impossible to prove as well as disprove.

Eh, just because people are freaking out over it I'll go ahead and remove it from the site entirely. Should be changed soon enough. I'm still technically right, though. :P
