The Stone Beast

I initially proposed this article for deletion as failing WP:V and as possibly made up but the author objected on the talk page and another editor has added a hangon template, so I thought I'd list it here for review for completeness. A google search for the term The Stone Beast gives these results, none of the which seem to be supporting the article. Refining the google search with the addition of "aztec" give these web, books and scholar results. I know google is not the best place to be looking for sources for Aztec mythology but I would expect some mention somewhere on the web. It would seem that this creature is at best non-notable or possibly a hoax. ascidian | talk-to-me 21:53, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It seems like a joke. If it was a real Aztec myth there would be sources, otherwise how would the author of the article be able to include so much information -- like how big it is -- and say that nothing is known about it for sure? Northwestgnome (talk) 22:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unsourced, unverifiable, and just not very likely. --Lockley (talk) 22:16, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and the creator of this article has an unhappy history of disruptive edits -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jerkofthejungle. --Lockley (talk) 22:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete as my own searches ([1], [2], [3]) lead me to suspect hoax. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
