Muck Monster

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

It's non-notable event. Someone saw a wake on the surface of the water and called it a "muck monster". Donald Albury 22:18, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge it with a site to the appropriate listing of monsters sighted? Or just delete it. But it does seem kind of fun. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Better yet, redirect to a brief mention in Lake Worth Lagoon pending further sightings and investigations. It's been reported in several sources, but I don't think it merits its own article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:29, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The 'several sources' are all repeating the same report. The people who took the video apparently contacted all the local news outlets. I don't think it's notable enough to be mentioned in the Lake Worth Lagoon article, either. -- Donald Albury 10:27, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete until it actually does catch on as a local legend. No need to merge to Soliton, either. - 2/0 (cont.) 14:43, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge in a shortened fashion to Lake Worth Lagoon. It may be pack journalism, but there are non-identical stories in 16 mainstream newspapers, plus one in the Weekly World News (not a reliable source). Cnilep (talk) 15:08, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I think it should be deleted unless sometime in the future, the Muck Monster is considered notable enough to be a cryptid. Dog  poster  16:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment It was mentiond on The Late Show with David Letterman as a Top-10 list: "The Top-10 Questions Received by Palm Beach County Authorities about the Muck Monster." --Auric (talk) 14:49, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment What are the arguments against a merge of something that has been reported on by numerous newspapers and seems, to me at least, to be worth mentioning in the article on the lagoon where it occured? ChildofMidnight (talk) 15:23, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Weak Merge Not notable by itself. Not opposed to full delete, but merge makes sense. Whitespider23 (talk) 19:11, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
