The result was delete and redirect to Skeg. Obvious consensus to delete article, plausible to redirect to Skeg via the NOAA link. Not a common redirect, but they are free. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 22:46, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether this is a hoax or not, but I can't find anything other than Wikipedia mirrors. Can't find anything on Google Books either. Adam9007 (talk) 18:12, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete A quick Google search reveals there is no such thing. I don't know why anybody would create a hoax of this nature, but it looks like they have.  Rcsprinter123    (pitch)  @ 22:12, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The only other mentions I've found are this and this, both of which include descriptions copied/paraphrased from this article (there's no date on the second one so I imagine it's that way around, given all the other sources). I have yet to find anywhere with an original description. I've tagged it as a possible hoax for now; it's certainly either that or extremely obscure. Adam9007 (talk) 03:07, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Skeg. I don't think this is a hoax, though the term does seem to be exceedingly rare. It crops up in guidelines for recording historic ships, is mentioned in 1951, 2014, and 2015 news articles as well as a 2005 book. gobonobo  + c 03:49, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm... none of those really explain exactly what a Bug shoe is. Nevertheless, I've changed the hoax tag to gng for now. Adam9007 (talk) 04:02, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The wording of the NOAA Fisheries definition differs enough that it may not have been cribbed from Wikipedia. Regardless, this doesn't meet GNG, though it could be a plausible search term. gobonobo  + c 04:29, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
