Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Legends of Alcatraz (2nd nomination)
per nom. I fully agree that Alcatraz haunting legends are notable. But there are not enough  independent sources to justify a stand alone article. Once you strip out all the sources (e.g. paranormal themed books) pushing the  belief that ghosts exist, can be detected by psychics and ghost hunter gadgets, and the sensational "silly season" stuff, plus all the  "padding" about gruesome deaths, insanity, mistreatment of prisoners, etc. (and Mark Twain's quote that he found the island gloomy and cold falls into this category) -- I doubt if there are enough  independent reliable sources with which to construct an encyclopedic article. The most that could be confirmed to be notable by reliable independent sources is that some people believe Alcatraz is haunted. And that could be accomplished by a line or two at the main Alcatraz_Federal_Penitentiary#Legends|Alcatraz article
