Original research essay. If anyone can explain to me what this article is about I will remove the nomination. Seems like a hoax. Ridernyc 09:50, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom, as it does read like a story made up by the camp fire one evening. I suggest posting this on WP:ANI to see if anyone can vouch for this story, as I am sure the closing admin is amoungst the inmates who escaped. --Gavin Collins 10:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Hmm... I only found forums, blogs and a Yahoo Answer post for sources that covers this topic. No need to warn Wikipedia:WikiProject Paranormal--Lenticel (talk) 12:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete "Frustrating attempts to nail down any ___location in conjunction with the legends is that the existence and ___location of Toad Road is unverifiable"... etc. Yikes, an urban legend about the existence of an urban legend!!

- Delete. It is not verifiable. The content of the article even contradicts the existence of such a place. Since there is no hard evidence that the place exist, there is no real need of the article, unless some convincing evidence is found. By the way, what is the name of the place? The seven gates of hell or Toad Road? --Zacharycrimsonwolf 14:53, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Article is as vague and unlikely as the story... After reading this article, I was never the same! --136.223.3.130 14:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, not necessarily with prejudice. Looks to me like an account of a local legend trip. If this legend trip site has notability, it should be mentioned; we do have articles on legend trip sites and legends like the Waverly Hills Sanatorium and the Pope Lick Monster. But a better title should be found if an article on this can be written. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. An article about an urban legend should at least have sources about instances of belief. The Loch Ness Monster didn't become famous just because it was mentioned in an encyclopedia. --Blanchardb 18:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
