[edit] The Hunchback of Caldecott
Unreferenced and unverified legend, possibly something someone made up in school. Stifle 23:21, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- Googling for the phrase and variations on it turns up nothing. The name "Caldecott" should also ring a bell or 2... 68.39.174.238 23:22, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Poorly-spelt, unreferenced rubbish. If a citation can be provided and the text cleaned up it may be worth keeping. As it is, delete. -- (aeropagitica)
00:00, 13 January 2006 (UTC) - KEEP This is a LOCAL rural legend. Find yourselves some books about legends of Rutland + Leicestershire and you'll see it. Just because something is not on google (or the internet as a whole) doesn't mean it isn't true. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Snivellus (talk • contribs) 2006-01-13 00:52:22 UTC.
- That's at variance with what you wrote in the article, Snivellus, which was "Lots of book have been written about The Hunchback, but all were destroyed in a fire.". Uncle G 02:06, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Ok, sorry I didn't know how to do the signature thing. I said books all about it, which were made in the 1800's were destroyed, not new books containing bits of information. --Snivellus 10:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- KEEP I myself have seen The Hunchback, and took a photo, which was unfortunately lost after my camera broke. The Hunchback is not a social person, and it is advised you approach him with caution.- Robert Smythe
- Delete as unverifiable, possible hoax. No google hits. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-13 12:05Z
- Delete as hoax. Quote from the alleged sighter's web diary: "Exams are looming, and the campaign the bring the legend of The Hunchback of Caldecott is gathering pace. Please search for 'The Hunchback of Caldecott' on Wikipedia [...]" ([1]). Not even the 17th-century bishop allegedly involved in a royal assassination plot is verifiable. Obviously just a trick being played on some poor local individual of that name "jamesl" wants to make fun of. Lukas 12:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Snivellus and Jameslewis have created a series of non notable/hoax articles. This is one of them.--Bill 15:20, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as hoax. Edgar181 16:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete currently unverifiable. In fact, it's WP:BALLS. Stifle 22:40, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. user:84.65.69.55's contribution to Isle of Arran don't speak well for his being a good-faith contributor. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:30, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
