Hoax?

While I don't deny the existence of tall tales, this one seems to be a little bit too much to take even as fiction. Even so, its going to be difficult to verify given the seeming obscurity of the sources provided. Gershwinrb 04:37, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear if the cited sources actually contain relevant material, but they all exist. I've updated the sources per the Library of Congress catalog. Would appreciate specific page cites where possible. The "National Wildlife and Conservation Digest" is a serial, and needs a cite to a specific issue. If the cites are actually fakes, please remove them. Thanks. --John Nagle 06:23, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where does that leave hodags, side hill gougers and baby the blue ox? (They made Wikipedia) This piece of american forklore is one that we are told in my part of the country (Pacific Northwest) along with those other creatures. I don't mind marking it fictional, hoax, however "not notable" is something I don't think it should be marked. waynebe 04:48, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, after doing a Google Search, I retract my above statement about it being a hoax. I'd be inclined to keep this article since it appears to be a semi-well known tale, at least in the pacific northwest.Gershwinrb 04:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This, I think, would make it notable if it could be verified as true. Gershwinrb 04:57, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes was confusing noteworthy with notable. So does that mean I can remove your requested for deletion in 10 days in the article or our you going to do it? waynebe 05:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC).[reply]
