 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

"News of the weird" type story that got coverage for a few days; no enduring notability or significance. Article was created by blocked sock of hoax originator. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:40, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Article was mistakenly posted for the January 2 period. I have relisted it to ensure it is not lost.

 * Keep The subject has received both significant and sustained coverage that meets the requirements. It might be a 'slow news week' puff piece, but that doesn't change the fact that people were still writing articles solely about it over a year later - and as recently as last year it received its own section in a local article --  No COBOL  (talk) 09:34, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
