[edit] Snails in folklore

Snails in folklore (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Is this a joke? - Wikipedia is not a bunch of unreferenced nonsense about snails pretending like it's an article. Otto4711 01:47, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep could provide some meaning. Cheers, JetLover (talk) 01:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
    Er, how? Giggy Talk | Review 02:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Snail, and merge any HIGHLY notable information (I don't think any of the current information is highly notable, though). Giggy Talk | Review 02:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - It is a Trivia page split from Snail due to the lack of sources and should be deleted as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Trivia Cleanup and per WP:NOT#DIR. Sawblade05 02:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete OR, doesn't seem to actually have anything to do with folklore, and generally non-encyclopedic. CitiCat ♫ 03:05, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete trivia and unencyclopedic. Oysterguitarist 03:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete...slowly per nom. Let's...not...be...hasty. Clarityfiend 04:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and merge - no need to split from the main article at this point. Maybe there are more stories of snails in folklore than I realise, but as it stands there isn't enough to warrant a separate article. violet/riga (t) 06:59, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete We have WP:ATRIV for a reason. Spellcast 11:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, without prejudice. Most of this stuff isn't really folklore in the first instance. The Scandinavian nursery rhyme may well belong under the article in chief about snails, and I am open to the idea that a profitable article may well can be written about snails in folktales, weather lore, and so forth; but the bulk of this material is unhelpful towards that purpose. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:58, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep/Merge to either snail or a Cultural depictions of snails page
  • Delete at this point, there is not enough for an article. no prejudice to re-creation when a suitable article is written. I see no need for the outrage expressed by some of the comments above. Just an inadequate article. DGG (talk) 07:52, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per DGG. Carlossuarez46 19:58, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm going to have to call for a BJAODN on this one. Nothing else is justified. Stifle (talk) 21:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is just anohter %SUBJECT% in popular culture type list in disguise. Burntsauce 18:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The phrase 'citation needed' was invented for this page. --Greatest hits 20:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
