 * Keep per WP:GNG. See references here: 1 2. FOARP (talk) 20:15, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The second link is to a fringe source (fails WP:FRIND; cryptozoology), can't see the former, but it doesn't seem to establish notability. Books of its type tend to be pretty poor quality ("WEIRD state name here"). &#58;bloodofox: (talk) 23:59, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Only seem to be able to find fringe sources (cryptozoology) on this one. &#58;bloodofox: (talk) 23:59, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Bigfoot. Appears to just be a local variant on the bigfoot. There are plenty of reliable sources discussing cryptozoology - neither the fact that they discuss cryptozoology, nor the fact that cryptid likely doesn't exist, make them unreliable. Like religion and characters from fiction, there won't be reliable sources proving the subject matter to be real, but we still have articles on them. --Michig (talk) 12:15, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * To clarify, we have plenty of reliable sources that discuss cryptozoology over at cryptozoology. However, we don't use fringe sources, because they're not reliable, even for their own claims, as the sources over at cryptozoology make clear. &#58;bloodofox: (talk) 21:29, 9 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge to Bigfoot as suggested by Michig. It may be more appropriate for "Grassman" to redirect to Grassman (surname), but the redirects that point to this article (Grass man, Kenmore Grassman, and Ohio Grassman) can all point to the Bigfoot article, which should have a section about similar creatures since there are a number of local variants like this one. --RL0919 (talk) 21:16, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Bigfoot; seems to just be a local variant. MarkH21 (talk) 07:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
