Canvey Island Monster

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable cryptid. A critter "seen" once when an ambiguous carcass washed up on shore. Has received basically no coverage outside of fringe sources (both of the citations, the Fortean Times and the Edwards book are both fringe science sources). Fails WP:GNG and you can't pass it in as a species, either. Hog Farm (talk) 22:59, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. The sources needed to support it as notable just don't seem to be there. &#58;bloodofox: (talk) 01:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:GNG and confirmed to not be an actual species. ~ riley  ( talk  ) 11:35, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment this blog post shames Wikipedia a bit for perpetuating the story of this cryptid.&mdash;eric 13:51, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
