Snail mail with email address

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

I can't find a source for this "140,000" people estimate. Nor can I find anything about the assertion that the letters "were returned or in some cases framed for posterity." Finally there is nothing I can find in the cited source that says anything about the subject. It therefore appears to fail WP:V and perhaps WP:OR/WP:SYN, but perhaps others may have better luck here.

Delete simply not notable. If it was, there would be at least one national news story on the "phenomenon" Tavix | Talk 19:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete reads like a joke, and while I'm sure it has happened once or twice I have a very hard time believing it happens as much as the article claims. Unlikely claims require some rock-solid sourcing. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:53, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I know there's a lot of idiots in America, but surely not that many. (Plus it's brilliant how a report made in 2000 is being used as evidence for something that happened nine years later.) DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 22:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless anyone can find sources--and even so it should probably not be a separate article. But I think we should let this run the whole time to give the chance that someone might actually find something. DGG ( talk ) 01:33, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
White Christmas WP:SNOW Delete The source cited doesn't back up the fantastic claim. As with everyone else, I would find it hard to believe that there 140,000 people who would be that stupid. Mandsford (talk) 14:45, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
