Kingoodie artefact

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This topic lacks significant coverage; there's not even enough sourcing to establish the context or significance of the "nail". The only sources are an 1845 primary-source description in an apparently reliable journal and a modern "debunking". These do not provide enough information to write a balanced article or meet the basic requirements of GNG. I did not find further RS coverage in my BEFORE search. –dlthewave ☎ 18:30, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete The initial report of the discovery is very brief and, with the exception of Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews blog post which highlights some of the issues and gives some useful context, subsequent mentions do not add further detail. On balance, the coverage is not significant enough to pass general notability guidelines. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:49, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Plenty of academic coverage of valid findings from historic Kingoodie sites, nary a mention of this. This might be worth a sentence at Kingoodie if that article ever features any substantial treatment of the valid stuff. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:59, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
