Drake (fairy)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While drakes are well known in mythology as dragons, this article presents unsubstantiated claims that the term is also used historically to describe a class of fairies. The only reference is a blog entry credited to an anonymous social worker. From that blog, I've found a potential reference here but I'm skeptical that this should qualify as a reliable source.

 * Delete. Unencyclopedic and lacking any coverage in reliable sources. Perhaps even made up by the author. --Michig (talk) 15:35, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
