Mayflower Legend
editI own most, and have access to all the rest of the source materials for the Mayflower and I can not find any whiff of a hint that this legend is based in reality. My question is: is a local legend an acceptable part of this article? It just seems like the sign in many older Northeast Inns (America) that state 'General George Washington Slept Here'...some are true, most are using the 'brand name' to raise their local stock. suggestions?

I think it should stay the way that it is now; in the article, but noted that there is no reference to back it up. Until enough people look into this and prove it wrong or right no changes should be made. User:danielchidley December 2009 —Preceding undated comment added 20:38, 11 December 2009 (UTC).
OK, it has been almost 7 years since our last posts here (and almost 400 years in the source materials), is that time for 'enough people to look into this...?' As I have stated before, all the eye-witness source materials of that time say that this legend is not substantiated by any facts on any of the extant pages. I have doubled-checked them all myself. It is now time for the 'local legends' to show something - anything - and to bring it to the table. Example: real dairies, accounts tied to real people, when did this legend first pop-up, Something. This 'legend' should be downgraded to 'myth' at best or 'fairy tale' at worst until such time that the 'legend' information comes in and is made available for historical evaluation. Silence is not proof that it is correct, I have already proved it is wrong. Comments? Calixte 04:23, 30 June 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calixte (talk • contribs)
