Fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline.

Article is about an internet rumor. The only reference relevant to the rumor is the original April Fools article that [supposedly] kicked off the rumor. AFAICT, there are no reliable sources that cover the rumor. — hike395 (talk) 14:44, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: Sources 2,3 and 4 aren't about this meme thing, I wouldn't consider the rest notable enough. This could be a small few sentences in an article about the town/area maybe. I don't see enough for a full article here. Oaktree b (talk) 15:57, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

:*Delete: I wish there was any WP:SIGCOV but the only source that mentions the Great South Bay Giant Horseshoe Crab at all is the WP:PRIMARY April Fool's Day prank article from this year. A search for other sources yielded nothing. Vegantics (talk) 18:33, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

:I would argue that this is already enough for a full article. It is a wonderful piece of local lore that meets notability guideline. We should add back the notice asking people to improve the article by adding more sources rather than deleting it. AmericanTruth (talk) 20:05, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

• Delete the article even makes a show about about how a single mention from a single small town newpaper is what the claim to "notability" is here. That is insufficient for GNG. Iljhgtn (talk) 14:26, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
