Appalachian Black Panther

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

The topic appears to be unnotable. There are no references establishing notability, and I cannot find any after a web search. Locke9k (talk) 19:33, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with Phantom cat. It's always difficult to find reliable sources for pseudoscientific subjects but the Appalachian Black Panther seems to fit in with the general definition given in the other article and doesn't seem to be notable or different enough to merit an article of its own.

 * Merge per cosmo and possibly redirect. fits nicely into that article and doesnt merit its own.  untwirl (talk) 19:47, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Well, Huey P. Newton does sound like the name of some hillbilly redneck. This is mind-blowing... a totally unsourced article about a legendary creature that has no legends written about it. Mandsford (talk) 23:14, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: To those proposing a merge: could you point out what material you think should be merged? To me, with the total lack of references, none of this material is salvageable and the article thus merits an outright delete. Locke9k (talk) 22:34, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I was going on the fact that the material in the article seemed to fit naturally into Phantom cat.  Of course, it still has to meet the threshold for inclusion and if no reliable, third-party references can be found (I can't find any) then it should be removed.  I still think it would be worth leaving a redirect to Phantom cat. Cosmo0 (talk) 10:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - No sourcing. AGF aside, there's no reason to believe this isn't somebody's hoax. BusterD (talk) 00:14, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Lankiveil (speak to me) 01:38, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
