Concrete Hippo
I'm not even sure what this is - is it a hoax? It appears that this page had been previously deleted at wikipedia, but was recreated today (to coincide with the creation of a page on wikiquote). ~ UDScott 22:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Vote closed. Result: delete (4 Deletes; no dissent). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. How can a statue have quotes?? ~ UDScott 22:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless credible evidence provided that this is not a hoax. I found no "Concrete Hippo EP" at All-Music Guide, and based on the corresponding, unsourced Wikipedia article, it sounds rather fantastic (as in "complete fantasy"). Quotes from a statue don't help the case. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:06, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I nominated the WP article for deletion, which may also shed more light on the situation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:26, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The WP AfD for "Concrete Hippo" resulted in a delete, with the single line of useful information merged with Walsall. During this vote, at least one of the article's editors made 2 attempts to add fictitious references for the looney essay they wrote. I seriously doubt we'll get any real sources for statue "quotes" here. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, the partner of a Wikipedia page which had similar hoax content about the statue itself, and is undergoing AfD. -- Mithent 00:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete patent nonsense. CPMcE 00:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
