Monkey hanger
Hoax, non-notable. Neologism, probably unencylopedic. I mean, google reveals only 800 hits or less, so I'm slightly suspicious. Delete. -- Natalinasmpf 9 July 2005 12:29 (UTC)
- Strong Keep, as a Monkey Hanger myself, I can confirm that it's NOT a hoax, and it's certainly notable enough, I think. It's a term used by people all over Britain to refer to Hartlepudlians. See Hartlepool. The article needs work though; I'll help with that if it survives. jamesgibbon 9 July 2005 13:25 (UTC)
- Keep It is definitely not a neologism. The legend comes from the 17th century I think. ~~~~ 9 July 2005 13:43 (UTC)
- Keep Please. ~~~~ 9 July 2005 13:43 (UTC)
- Keep Have a look at This article. Too crazy to be fake, anyway. NowWhereDidIStickThatBanana? 9 July 2005 14:27 (UTC)
- Keep, this is absolutely true. A few years ago, the citizen of Hartlepool elected a man in a monkey-costume as Mayor — he called himself 'Angus the Monkey. Yes, really. -Splash 9 July 2005 14:40 (UTC)
- Not quite as foolish as it sounds, since the guy in the monkey costume was the mascot for the Hartlepool football team: so it was an official monkey costume. --Calton | Talk 9 July 2005 15:43 (UTC)
- This is true. I remember laughing when I heard that his main policy was along the lines of "free bananas to school children". I'm slightly surprised it's taken until now to get a WP article, actually. -Splash 9 July 2005 15:49 (UTC)
- Cleanup Poorly formatted, but Google says it's real.
- Keep. This story even showed up in Get Fuzzy. --Calton | Talk 9 July 2005 15:43 (UTC)
- Keep. Real. If you go to Hartlepool's website you can probably confirm it - certaintly the identity of the Mayor will be confirmed there. Morwen - Talk 9 July 2005 16:10 (UTC)
- Keep. I can confirm it's a real story. The Stuart Drummond story is true, too. Weird stuff. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:14, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep The article seems correct provided the phrase 'according to local legend' is left in. There is a good write-up of the Mayor on the Guardian website. The BBC have Realplayer Video of a telephone interviewwith the Mayor and a write-up of the legend and discovery of a monkey bone on the beach. --Timffl 00:48, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Interesting tidbit of British history/culture. Capitalistroadster 00:50, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
