[edit] Curse of Elgin Baylor

Yet another curse made up on WP. 71 Google hits, again, nearly all mirrors. There is a Seattle Post-Intelligencer article which references this page, yet again proving that the media doesn't know how to deal with this site. Is it possible this nn internet meme could become notable because some uninformed journalist didn't realize it was an nn internet meme? djrobgordon 03:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

• Strong delete. Someone has obviously made up a whole lot of articles to explain away any possible curse, most of which fail both WP:NOR and are also complete nonsense. BoojiBoy 04:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Yet another original research article emulating the Curse of the Bambino. Unverified nonsense.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  06:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete original research, no reliable sources, etc. -- ReyBrujo 04:58, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. Unlike the other curses, I have heard of this one and it does appear to be covered by a handful of reliable sources. However, it hasn't caught on enough to hold muster for a Wikipedia article... Cultural themes like this need to be held to a higher standard. Grandmasterka 04:22, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
