[edit] Resurrection Mary

Resurrection Mary (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article contains no sources and has been tagged as such since January 2007. Doesn't assert notability. Seems to be entirely Original Research. Pdelongchamp (talk) 20:46, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Sources being under External links is not the same thing as "no sources", even if it does violate the WP:MOS. In any case, there are hundreds of references found on Google Books, everything from Weird Illinois to a Complete Idiot's Guide to Ghosts and Hauntings. So, a notable ghost story. --Dhartung | Talk 22:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Fairly widespread urban myth in Chicago, plenty of citations. DJ Creamity (talk) 22:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Per Dhartung. A casual search of Google Books [1] or Google News [2]reveals sufficient reliable and independent sources with substantial coverage to satisfy WP:N and WP:V. Edison (talk) 04:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Article does assert notability (it's the best-known Chicago-area ghost story), and tons of sources are available. Zagalejo^^^ 04:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Dhartung. I have updated the tags. Bearian (talk) 19:55, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep: This is the just the result of a misunderstanding. The sources were added as External links rather than inline citations. They support the entry and assert notability. I'll recode them when I have time, if nobody else does it first. They are all sufficient to support this entry if converted into the correct format. - perfectblue (talk) 19:26, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep: This is a very famous ghost story. Surprised you weren't aware of this, Pdelongchamp. Next time please try a Google search before launching into this exercise, MrHarman (talk) 04:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
