Drake (fairy)

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

While drakes are well known in mythology as dragons, this article presents unsubstantiated claims that the term is also used historically to describe a class of fairies. The only reference is a blog entry credited to an anonymous social worker. From that blog, I've found a potential reference here but I'm skeptical that this should qualify as a reliable source.

Note: While the blog entry is anonymous, the blog itself appears to be run by User:Francoferret, this article's creator. Pburka (talk) 16:03, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unencyclopedic and lacking any coverage in reliable sources. Perhaps even made up by the author. --Michig (talk) 15:35, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
