Robin Hoods grave

Delete possible hoax? Was Robin Hood a Yorkshireman as postulated here? Do we know? Is there real-world RSes that cover this inter-county dispute? Carlossuarez46 06:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC) Delete Although yes, there is a widespread theory that Robin was from Yorkshire not Nottingham (there's a Robin Hood's Bay on the North Yorkshire coast).... I have no idea what that article is on about. Non-notable. MorganaFiolett 09:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC) Keep It does look better now, and has references to boot. I had no idea what it was about before... MorganaFiolett 13:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as regardless of the dispute there is no indication that this is particularly notable. In fac the article seems to argue that the site is overlooked. This is somewhere between WP:NOT and WP:COATRACK. --Dhartung | Talk 06:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up (plus move to Robin Hood's Grave). Dreadful article but the subject of this page does in fact exist (though you wouldn't know it from reading this page). Robin Hood's alleged grave is in Kirklees Park, Yorkshire according to Westwood and Simpson's guide to English folklore, The Lore of the Land (Penguin, 2005) page 830. References to it go back to the early 17th century. See this BBC News page too . And yes, some people have claimed that Robin Hood was a Yorkshireman. --Folantin 11:32, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Update I've completely rewritten this article using a reliable source (and moved it to the improved title). Would those who voted delete above please have another look? Cheers. --Folantin 11:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
