This is an article about a non-notable mascot for tooth decay fighting. Wikipedia is not a collection of random information. -- THLCCD 06:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as per nom. Appears to be an obscure and unsuccessful ripoff of the tooth fairy. Google books hits for "tooth chicken" which are not false positives = 0. Google books hits for "tooth fairy" = 5,390 Bwithh 07:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Delete as per nom. One sentence on an obscure health department website does not establish notability.--Hatch68 07:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per above. MER-C 08:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The books referred to in the article do exist, Amazon Canada has 2 copies of the Goldsmith book listed. Whether they're notable or not is another question. I'm a bit skeptical about the "Pennsylvania Dutch myth" story, too, that I can't seem to find anything on. Tubezone 08:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The book's publisher is a division of Guideposts, which is a Christian publishing charity. Whilst it isn't a vanity press, as I expected it would be when I started digging, I don't expect their editorial standards to be particularly high; they're not working to the commercial realities that most publishers are.

- Weak delete I'd probably vote to keep this if anyone could come up with reliable sources that this really is a Pennsylvania Dutch folklore tradition. I grew up about an hour away from Lancaster and read a lot of Amish literature (as research for the article on The Budget) and don't recall hearing anything of the kind.
