 * Move to article space Trim the "in pop culture" stuff and this does seem to have a few decent sources to support the content. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:33, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment this was to me the most interesting of all the pages listed here. I am really interested in giving these a last chance if at all conceivable. tastes around deletions do vary over time.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:09, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * (ignoring for a moment that mainspace -> AfD -> userspace -> rot -> mainspace is not a virtuous cycle) A quick examination of the article reveals that the "examples" section is 100% popcruft and of the rest, only the first three sources directly address the subject matter. So that leaves us with sentences 1, 2, 4 and 5 from the article. That's roughly enough for a paragraph on the "phenomenon" on mermaid. If folk really think that's worthwhile, this should be moved to mermaid biology or something and then speedily merged to the parent.
