I think this might be a hoax. It's about a statue in Whitley Bay of a garbage collector and trash can/wastebasket. No sources (link on page is irrelevant) and my google searching turned up no sources. If sources could be found, the uniqueness of this might help make it notable, but as of right now, fails WP:V. I'm going to canvass people who worked on the Whitley Bay article to try and get a better idea of whether this is real. CastAStone//(talk) 15:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete WP:CSD#G11. It's a hoax for sure. But it's also a cleverly disguised advertisement. Check the (only) link provided. Yngvarr 15:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom as silly hoax. --Lockley (talk) 15:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per Yngvarr, disguised advert . (or to be frank, pure vandalism. Deprodder has been reverted for vandalism a lot without getting a single warning, this is not good). Greswik (talk) 18:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as vandalism. So tagged. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
