[edit] Mythical chickens
This is the single most reluctant XfD I have ever nominated as it's the best title for a disambig page ever. I would absolutely love to have a pretext for keeping this page up, and if anyone can find a good keep argument I beg you to give it. Unfortunately, I can't find one - and not a single one of these entries is actually about a chicken. But if anyone's planning to form a band, I have the perfect name for you. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 22:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. I only created this article to get this nonsense out of the Chicken article, which was a hopeless and over-long mish-mash anyway and is now, at best, a mish-mash of shorter length and with some potential. Delete, don't delete -- not bothered either way. Just so long as it doesn't get dumped back into Chicken, I don't really care. Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 22:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes but you made a huge mistake - this article should be entitled Chicken Myths, not Mythical chickens. Your title only encompasses actual chickens, not the chicken-related. For shame. CitiCat 23:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Aren't you breaching policy by treating the half-house-half-chicken as a "myth"? I think to preserve NPOV, there needs to be a mention of people who believe it really happened. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 00:21, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

- Delete, but if I create a band named The Mythical Chickens will the fact it is named after a deleted Wikipediea page make it notable? Is a deleted page a source? Alas, probably not.--killing sparrows 00:12, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

- Comment - If you do and someone AfD's the page, rest assured I'll be voting keep - iridescenti (talk to me!) 00:21, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Solution. I moved the contents to the page Mythological things at least in part based on chickens which I think better describes its contents. Expand and enjoy. Oh, and we can probably delete the Mythical chickens page now, if that's OK. Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 11:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- As long as noone chickens out of doing it - iridescenti (talk to me!) 16:27, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- OK, its now a redirect to Mythological things at least in part based on chickens pending then discovery of a funk-thrash metal crossover band from Ulan Baator or some-such *actually* known as the Mythical chickens. Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 17:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- If that happened, we'd have egg on our faces - iridescenti (talk to me!) 17:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. None of them are actually chickens and there's no real connection between the things on the list. It is a great idea for a page, it's just a pity there's no true encyclopaedic content can be put on it. Sam Blacketer 17:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
