The 1855 footprints in the snow in Devon is quite a famous story, and if any one is curious about sources, I can supply them (Maypoles, Martyrs and Mayhem, for a start). Why was it removed so quickly? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:34, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The event did not link to an article that supported it. Per WP:DAYS events must link to an existing article that mentions the event explicitly. The question of this event's long term global notability is another reason. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 21:36, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
