Chester Charge

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

Unsourced article, likely hoax - I cannot find any trace of this purported mascot on Google. The only other mention is on another Wikipedia article, added there by an anon user Passportguy (talk) 01:16, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. Reliable sources may be lacking, but the mascot is not a hoax. For example, from Sports Illustrated, 1994: "Pool, rummaging through the rooms alone, opened one door in the dark, flipped on a light and was greeted by a disembodied head falling off a shelf: It was the overstuffed noggin of Chester Charge, the Astros' first mascot."

 * Thank you for that. Looks like this is a case of unlikely but true nonetheless... Passportguy (talk) 03:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to List of Major League Baseball mascots or add sources since being the second mascot ever in MLB could be notable.-- Giants27 (  t  |  c  |  r  |  s  ) 13:52, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge as per above. Definitely not a hoax, but for now I'm not seeing enough for individual notability. I also have questions about the copyright status of the picture in the article. I left a note for the author, but no reply yet.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  15:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
