Talk:Buck Nelson

Delete this, and similar nonsense

How can Wikipedia hope to be taken seriously, or trusted, when it covers this sort of thing? By all means refer to superstitions, folklore, etc. but do not apply to them that horrible fence-sitting neutrality which might lead gullible readers to think that there is any truth in them. That is a disservice to the spirit of learning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.54.130 (talk) 12:47, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Although I'm not convinced this person meets our notability guidelines hence the tagging, I did find [1]. The subject is also briefly mentioned in [2] and [3] although neither would be enough to establish notability IMO. Nil Einne (talk) 05:05, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Nil Einne! I'm coming across this article quite a while after the fact, but there does seem to be a fair amount of newspaper coverage from across the years.
