Yes. Believe it or not, that is the standard for walking one mile.

6 minute mile if you're in relatively good shape, and may be able to get close to a 4 minute mile if you're a really good runner (and presumably male).

You do realize a 12 minute mile is walking 5 MPH which is not walking slowly by any stretch of the imagination, right? Are you sure you know what a mile is?
No point in going to the gym if you're tired before you get there.
Thats it eh? 1 mile? In Canada thats considered a quick stop to the corner store or Tim Hortons. I guess America is more urban. I used to jog 8 miles to the gym through snow. 4 miles uphill to work. 4 Miles downhill nowadays. Going down hill is annoying, I should sled down or something.
3mph is considered average walking speed. If you have a decent stride and walk fast, you can double that easily, and maintain it for a very long time.
6mph is a mile every 10 minutes.
So yeah, I can totally see someone walking a 12 minute mile no problem

i started walking home from school in the 4th grade. walked home about 90% of the time 4th-12th. each school was over a mile to my house. i learned to walk faster so i would get home faster. (if its a route i know i can read and walk faster than some average speed that is slow because of the average fatness of people)
my stride is quite long when i make full use of it.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure you're underestimating the requirements for 6 and 4 minute miles. 6 minute miles are more than 'relatively good shape' -- and 4 minute miles are not just really good, that's elite status, to put it mildly.

I was mostly going by memory from school (when I was on the track team, but not a miler - I was a sprinter).
The 6 minute mile was relatively simple for most runners - even the sprinters, who focused on entirely different training - as long as they were in general running shape. I'd argue that almost anyone could easily get themselves to a 6 minute mile pace if they actually tried. It's less a question of intense training and more just a question of being in shape.
The 4 minute mile is definitely race-pace (our school record for the mile was 4:10, world record is something like 3:45 or so), and it's not something you're going to hit without a ton of training to specifically run distance/mile races, but if you DO put in that training, "close to 4" is an attainable goal, especially for adult males. By "close" I didn't mean "4:01" or the like as much as I mean anything relatively close to 4:00, which could include anything up to 4:25 or so (which I view as closer to 4:00 than 5:00).
If you're just doing general training, or specifically 5k/10k/marathon training then yes, close to 4 minutes might be a lot harder, but if you're specifically training for a fast mile, I feel like you could probably get within touching distance of it.
I might agree that my use of "relatively good" and "really good" wasn't hyperbolic enough, though. They probably implied a bit more casual effort than I actually meant.

^ no, the link proves you can walk quite faster than 12 and a couple minutes faster than 10
