Seems like a hoax. No reliable source coverage that I could find (self-published books such as this are not reliable). Everymorning talk 15:01, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Before I recommend keep, I would like to have Everymorning and Neutrality look at the below sources. The below were not easy to find, but I think they provide sufficient support for notability at least as to "Quail Panel" in Grand Gulch off Step Canyon near Cedar Mesa in the San Rafael Swell. I still have not found anything authoritative regarding the Swaseys but will search more. If anything, Richard Wetherill appears to have been involved at least with exploring the area. (I have not previously been involved with this article and otherwise know nothing about this subject.)--Rpclod (talk) 20:02, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One day in Grand Gulch in October 1994, I sat on a natural bench at the mouth of the tributary canyone. At my back, stretching across many yards of smooth sandstone wall, ranged the Quail Panel, one of the finest displays of pictographs on Cedar Mesa. The paintings date from the Basketmaker II era, probably betwen A.D. 200 and 400. The panel is named for a striking white bird, drawn in profile, with one glaring, round eye painted red-and-green. The complex panorama also includes anthropomorphs with crescent heads, two green humanoids (green being one of the rarest colors of Anasazi art), two yellow anthropomorphs with red bird heads, three jumping stick-figure humans in profile, and a fierce red visage with teeth bared that looks like a mountain lion—or a mask of a mountain lion.

- Langstraat, Randy (23 Jul 2011), A Hot Day in the Swell with Rock Art, retrieved 3 Jul 2015, This panel is called the Quail Panel because the figures resemble quail. Certainly, these are the most Fremont 'shield' figures I have seen in one place. The figures are pretty small, at around 6 inches in height. It was a difficult panel for me to find, I walked right by it a few times before I actually was able to locate it.

Keep This article reads like a stub, and yet it has been around for a while. I don't have access to the books listed, but I'm going to AGF that there is additional info in them that hasn't been added to the article. I would like to see it marked as a stub and at least added to Rock_art#The_Americas. Then I hope someone will come along and expand it. LaMona (talk) 01:59, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:V. Zero sources in the article itself, which is what matters to readers. Sandstein 11:48, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the nudge. I have now added the above reference and recommend a keep.--Rpclod (talk) 12:15, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
