Legend of the maco light

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

Seemingly non-notable hoax (about a hoax, not a hoax itself).  a s e nine say what?  21:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep/Merge Redirect This subject of the article seems to be covered in Maco light. According to this article it is "one of North Carolina's most well-known and enduring supernatural phenomena", this feature also focusses on it.. Lots also covers the topic and a search of Google news gives lots of the other page also indicates the phenomenon is mentioned in works such as this book by Hans Holzer. Other sources can probably be found and it is possible to have a sourced stub at the least with the ones which are available. Guest9999 (talk) 22:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, we already have a better article on the same subject. This one has problems of both style ("It all started on a balmy, foggy night"?!) and content - judging from the other article, Cleveland noted that the station had unique lights installed so the engineers wouldn't be distracted by the Maco light, but he didn't see the Maco light himself - compare this source. All that might be merge-worthy are the references. Keeping it as a redirect is also useless because it's an unlikely search term. Huon (talk) 23:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
