Walt Disney hibernation urban legend

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This page describes an urban legend regarding the death of Walt Disney, with minimal references, and minimal credibility. Most of the text of this article is already included at Walt_Disney#Hibernation_urban_legend, I don't see why this subject warrants an additional article.

Delete Previously nominated for deletion in 2010. Looks like a duplicate of the information already found on Walt Disney's main page. Same sources cited. PaintedCarpet (talk) 20:50, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, two sources aren't sufficient to establish notability. Should redirect to Walt Disney, since, as mentioned by CWC, this article's content can already can be found there. Jinkinson talk to me 21:55, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the appropriate section of the parent article. It actually spent over a year in that state before being silently reverted to article form by an IP editor. There's not enough to say, nor strong enough sources, nor compelling size issues with the parent article to justify making this a spinout in my appraisal, and direct content forks are discouraged.

Redirect to Walt Disney#Hibernation_urban_legend. There's no reason to split from the parent article yet. Deletion is also acceptable, but this may actually be a useful redirect. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:08, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to main article. There's no shortage of sources from the reliable[1][2][3][4][5] to the less so[6][7]. But none of them (at least the reliable ones) really have much to say except "it's not true." It's useful to keep the stuff in this article about possible sources for the myth, because with a myth like this tracing its history is the most encyclopedic thing to do. --Colapeninsula (talk) 00:15, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Walt Disney#Hibernation_urban_legend. No reason to split. Cavarrone 06:05, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
