  • Delete patent nonsense. Ben-w
  • Keep and expand. This was a real person who claimed for years to have been Billy the Kid. Although his claim has been pretty much debunked, there was a lawsuit to exhume Billy the Kid for DNA testing. —Wahoofive (Talk) 21:32, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep only if rewritten. Born in 3005? RickK 23:48, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I tagged this as nonsense. If someone wants to write a legitimate article about the claims mentioned by Wahoofive, then they can do so, but I don't see how this nonsense is necessary for that. Firebug 23:50, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep if rewritten. ugen64 23:55, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Ditto, Keep if rewritten. Kappa 23:59, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

What should the deadline for being rewritten be? Collins.mc 00:39, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC) Or, delete now and if someone wants to create a legitimate article in the future, they may. Collins.mc

    • If consensus is to delete, that would be five days. If not, that would be five millennia or thereabouts :) Radiant_* 08:17, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I will have a go at re-writing this over the weekend. Capitalistroadster 04:13, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nonsense. Megan1967 04:44, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, list on Requested Articles for a rewrite from scratch. Radiant_* 08:17, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • keep once rewritten Yuckfoo 16:54, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete, unless fleshed a great deal. james_anatidae 06:04, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. If the article can be sourced and it can be demonstrated that there was something notable about this case, it can be kept instead. Quale 02:20, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Perfectly legitimate stub. PatGallacher 13:41, 2005 Apr 30 (UTC)
  • Keep Much better since I posted it for deletion. Collins.mc 19:13, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
