Nuckelavee

 * Nominator(s): Eric Corbett (talk), Sagaciousphil (talk)

This next article in our Scottish mythology series tells of the centaur-like nuckelavee of Orkney, the most horrible of all Scottish demons with its immense head, lack of skin, and breath that could destroy crops. SagaciousPhil  -  Chat  14:10, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Image is appropriately licensed and captioned, but are there no artistic depictions of the creature? Nikkimaria (talk) 12:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the image review. Unfortunately I couldn't find any freely licensed images - I thought I had when I discovered this but I was a little dubious so I asked Crisco for his thoughts and he also had reservations about it.  SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  13:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Withdrawal request

After recent frustrating and demoralising experiences with two other Scottish mythology FAs, Sagaciousphil and I have decided that we wish to withdraw this nomination. If we do any more work on this type of article it will be away from the honey pot that seems to attract so many irritating insects. Eric  Corbett  13:21, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * This is very much a joint decision and I fully endorse Eric's comment. Thank you, for checking the image and sincere apologies for having wasted your time.   SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  13:28, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
