 * keep and improve. Significant part of the history of the entire set of anthrax events: more hoaxes than actual.  Either make it into a list article (probably and then rename it as a list) or a regular article (maybe not). Hmains (talk) 01:39, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, news appearances doesn't remove notabilty. Anthrax hoaxes is obviously a common phenomenon. 96T (talk) 15:12, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The correct responses to a list of mostly unsourced and probably non-notable anthrax hoaxes would have been to turn it into an article about anthrax hoaxes, as I've done. Deletion is a blunt-edged tool and wasn't appropriate here. Fences  &amp;  Windows  21:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
