Talk:List of urban legends

extremely poor sources
can the citations (and maybe the entries as well) to the damn "only in your state" website be removed? it's clearly not a reliable source by any stretch and there are multiple entries on the page citing it Fox Room (talk) 02:27, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * We have 11 references to that site. I checked two. Both were credited to professional travel writers. I do not care to check them all. You will have to take up each citations one at a time and say why it is not reliable. I will grant you it is not a scholarly source, but that does not equate to unreliable. If a better source can be found, you are welcome to replace any of the citations, but I would not support removing them categorically. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 03:44, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * "not scholarly" is putting it mildly. it's clearly a clickbait article, and i do not trust its claims to be remotely reliable.  obviously leaving the entries without a citation would be silly but if one does exist it should be used, and if it does not exist then the entry should be removed.  if someone else hasn't cared to do it the next time i remember about this i'll do it myself  Fox Room (talk) 06:34, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

 * The Flying Dutchman would qualify more as a legend than an urban legend. Slamforeman (talk) 10:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * yeah i could agree its more like a sailor story or legend 212.98.76.251 (talk) 11:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
