Millie the Miller Beach monster

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable hoax. The sources cited, other than the page created specifically to publicize the hoax, relate only to the general history of Miller Beach and environs, or to other lake monsters. No actual reliable sources appear to exist. Cindas Ghost (talk) 00:31, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete An original-research piece posted on a non-notable web page, released under GDFL, and then copied verbatim to Wikipedia. - LuckyLouie (talk) 02:03, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. It almost seems as though this article was written as a means of promoting the hoax. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:41, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete for many obvious reasons already mentioned by others, but especially because of MezzoMezzo's cogent observation. It's promotional.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  05:40, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - as per all of the above. As pointed out above, almost a word-for-word copy of this "article". Someone else might like to clear this up, but even under a GDFL release, copy-paste copies are still not okay are they? Certainly WP:OR either way. Stalwart 111  06:07, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Seems to be part of a concerted publicity effort. I've had to restore an Afd template that was deleted and redirect a similar promotional article that was recreated against consensus . Would the closing admin please salt this article title as well as "Miller Beach Arts and Creative District"? - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:29, 13 April 2013 (UTC)


 * DO NOT DELETE, this is a well written, cited encycolpedic article about a supposed crytopzological creature. it does not "promote" the supposed creature or "promote" a hoax. but rather gives historic background and information about the supposed creature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Duneschilde77 (talk • contribs) 18:06, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete' per above Davey 2010   Talk 20:26, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Of course it only relates to the ″general history of Miller Beach″, it is a lake-based cryptide after all, and not on par with Nessie, for example. Apart from that as per Duneschilde77, Gott 00:08, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
