Derkunst
I could not confirm your sources and deleted this article as a hoax. --Durin 18:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the article again. Please do not recreate the article unless you can provide verifiable references. Failing that, if you recreate the article it will be deleted again. --Durin 12:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * With due respect, I have a hard time believing "Derkunst" exists as a famed cryptid. Doing a search on Google for it yields nothing. Even if there really is such a story, it appears that it is so far below the level of common knowledge in Philadelphia that nobody writes of it...ever...on the Internet. This makes any entry on this essentially impossible to verify. As such, unless you find some hard, verifiable sources this article will not fly. I'm sorry. --Durin 14:32, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
