Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fågelkatt

I have a fair share of knowledge of Scandinavian folklore and Norse mythology, but this page is nonsense. I wish we had any real knowledge of Swedish folklore in the 4th century.--Wiglaf 23:35, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC) Also note that in the article it says that the creature is a mix between a bird and a cat, but sometimes has the appearence of a "dalahäst", which is a breed of horse. I find this article very implausible, and vote for delete, if no more documentation is forthcoming.--MaxMad 09:31, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Unless that's just some weird mistake, the 4th c. in Sweden was pre-literate. We have to rely on scant reports from Romanized Britons for anything to do with them at all.  Perhaps this boogeyman is recorded much later and someone thinks it comes from the 4th c.?  Extremely unlikely all the way around.  (Her com tha fagelkatt in thaes tyd...?)

 * Keep, but only if someone can verify its relevance in Norse mythology. --Ardonik 05:26, Jul 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * I am from Norway, and I have never heard of this. I checked both Norwegian and Swedish Google, the only hit being this Wikipedia clone:[Wordiq].


 * It is worse than that. A Dalahäst is a small wooden red horse that Swedes sell to tourists as souvenirs. The contributor, User:Obli, just wants to mock the Wikipedia concept by adding silly information. He is a troll. Regards.--Wiglaf 10:40, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * My Swedish is limited to "smorgasbord," "ABBA," "Volvo," "SAAB" and "willing Swedish masseuse."   That being said, if real Scandanavians say that this is real nonsense, it should be a speedy delete.  I maintain that these kinds of bogus articles are extremely dangerous to this project. - Lucky 6.9 23:02, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Agree with Lucky. Mythology has included stranger creatures than this, but Wiglaf's comment makes me doubt the validity of the article.  Delete.  SWAdair | Talk  04:15, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:23, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am a Swede and this article is a mockery of Wikipedia. How long will it take before it is finally deleted?--Wiglaf 11:21, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, 2.5 days since you posted it for deletion, 5 day VfD period... at least another 2.5 days depending on sysop laziness levels? -- Cyrius|&#9998; 14:50, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
