[edit] List of dragon species

Even author admits that dragons are not real, but goes on to list types of species that are "known." If species names belong to a game, book, or movie, etc., they should be moved to the page appropriate to the source. Fbv65edel ^{(discuss | contribs)} 23:51, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to List of dragons, which could have a section Dragon species, but hardly the present list: since no context is given, it is both useless and unverifiable. Lambiam^Talk 00:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect as above. Additionally "dragon species" is extremely vague and could apply to many legendaria containing dragons, not all of which agree with each other. —Cuiviénen, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 @ 01:47 UTC
  • Comment Completely understand the previous two points and I agree. Of course this discussion may continue, but just wanted to express my sentiments about the past two points. --Fbv65edel ^{(discuss | contribs)} 02:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to "List of Dragons" per above, or source and merge to "List of Dragons" or the main "Dragon" article. -- Saberwyn 03:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Horrible abuse of the word 'species'. Something like "List of dragon species in insert-fictional-universe-here" could conceivably make an article, but not a universal list. Any "species" of dragon could only be meaningful in the context of a particular work of fiction, so the various types could not belong together on the same list.
