Fails GNG due to lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Before search returned primarily fringe cryptozoological works; there is not enough RS coverage to establish notability or write a NPOV article. –dlthewave ☎ 04:02, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Sigh, are we really going to back through the same super-soaker fight we had in 2018 over Cryptids? In this case, I see a CBC article that just gets over the line for Sigcov (three short paras), and a description of them in this book published by Penguin which is a reputable publisher, so I'm inclined to keep though the indications of notability could be better. Can we please not let this discussion degenerate into "Because these sources discuss this mythical animal they must be unreliable" again? FOARP (talk) 10:34, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- toss that CBC article, the author claims it's from Cwichya Gwich'in Googwandak but it's not there. That's a major problem with some of these, they like to connect the cryptids to legends from native peoples. In proportion in it would be like adding a bunch about Leprechauns to the lede section of Irish people.—eric 02:51, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- "Real Wolfmen: True Encounters in Modern America" is not a reliable source. –dlthewave ☎ 03:07, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
