Alaska Triangle

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable paranormal theory or neologism describing disappearances in Alaska. This appears to have been covered in one History Channel documentary (which I admittedly have not seen), but few or no other independent sources appear to use this name. (Perhaps the History Channel just happened to use this name in a program describing misc true disappearances in AK, and then others picked it up?) I am from Alaska and have never heard of this. Yes, people disappear in Alaska, and maybe more often than elsewhere considering Alaska's remoteness, but I don't think an article on a supposed "Alaska Triangle" is warranted. Very few ghits.

 * Delete per WillOakland and nominator. I live in Alaska, and have never heard of this. This isn't to say it isn't true merely because I'm an Alaskan and haven't heard of it, but this is likely a hoax. -- Mizu onna sango15 / 水 女 珊瑚15  23:14, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. No opinion on notability yet but this does not appear to be a hoax. There was a History Channel special about this which is avialble from Amazon.com:.Nsk92 (talk) 23:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
