 * Delete There is no evidence given of very much coverage: only one newspaper article. Generally speaking we do not consider having appeared in one incident in the news as constituting notability, as described in WP:ONEEVENT.
 * In addition it is perhaps worth mentioning that these stories about children living with wild animals occur frequently, and are often picked up by newspapers, but are rarely or never substantiated by verifiable evidence. When investigators travel to the scene to look further into the case there is a remarkably consistent tendency for the people mentioned in the reports to have mysteriously disappeared, or for there to be other obstacles in the way of verification. This means that in such cases the standard of verifiability required of our sources needs to be higher than for most other cases. Please note that my "delete" does not depend on this: even without this fact my first paragraph would apply. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:28, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
