Cucuy cave

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

Prior to this article, this cave was unknown to the caving community. While trying to verify, I contacted the Texas Speleological Survey and several National Speleological Society members who know San Saba County well and they had no record of a cave at the published location. The cave is now recorded in the TSS database as a rumored cave and that is the only known record of it outside of this article. There has simply been no opportunity to create a verifiable source. There are over 600 TSS records for San Saba County and a lot of them have bad air. There is nothing particularly notable about this one. WTucker (talk) 22:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Per nomination. Non-notable. Renee (talk) 23:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Notability- When measured, this cave will easily make the lists of Texas' deepest and possibly longest caves based on those lists published on the TSS website.


 * Verifiable- A photograph of the entrance was included to verify its existence when it was questioned. An expected Summer invitation to a few cavers to come as guests and measure it is rapidly evaporating with continued dogmatic insistence that it doesn't exist because its not in the "database." Thus, its absence from TSS records ( and thus, verifiablity through TSS) may ultimately be the result of cavers themselves.

A deletion nomination can be made based 'original research' without objection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skycrab (talk • contribs) 02:46, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
