Atco Ghost

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced and non-notable urban legend. Prod tag removed, so article is listed here. Recommend delete Dchall1 20:39, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Weak Delete Will change to Keep if reliable sources are provided. Plenty of Google hits, but no reliable, independent sources. Not documented on snopes.com, normally my first stop for verification of "popular urban legends". Perhaps another editor knows of better secondary/tertiary sources that might have discussed this ghost story? Sheffield Steel talkersstalkers 18:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete In addition to the telltale words of "legend", "rumor" and "tale", there is not even a fig leaf of a source to support any of the supposed spooky happenings in Atco, not even a reference to the questionable sources at Weird NJ. As Carl Sagan said, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"; This article provides no evidence, let alone the extraordinary kind. I will be willing to reconsider if some semblance of sources are added supporting the claims of supposed mysterious happenings. Alansohn 21:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
