Not a notable piece of folklore; coverage includes a few sightings reported in local newspapers but there doesn't seem to be any lasting interest. Seems to be something someone made up on a slow news day. –dlthewave ☎ 03:00, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to lack of reliable secondary sources. I'm generally an inclusionist, but there really needs to be notable coverage for us to build an article around. :bloodofox: (talk) 03:22, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It seems non-notable folklore. Nothing of significance found on current online news searches. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 04:10, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:SIGCOV. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] TJMSmith (talk) 04:57, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of these links are WP:RS fails. Please keep WP:RS in mind when looking for sources—what we need are reliable secondary sources from academics, like we have for all of our quality folklore-related articles. :bloodofox: (talk) 05:38, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@EricR and Bloodofox: No worries, I've tagged it G12. ミラ P 15:57, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There were versions of this article in its early history that don't violate copyright, so I have reverted back to one. Any copyright violation in later versions should be dealt with by revision deletion, not speedy deletion of the whole article. I have no opinion as yet on whether this should be kept or deleted, but there is no reason for speedy deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:23, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
