[edit] Apatodon

Only 76 unique Google hits for this dubious species of dinosaur. Most sources consider this a probable misnomer for an allosaurus. There doesn't seem to be enough information to merge and I have doubts about a redirect because the original bone sample has been lost. Hence, we can't say with any real certainty that this is a misnomer for an allosaurus. Is this sub-encyclopedic? You decide. Durova 08:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable. These particular 76 hits means this is not a Hoax (at least not one invented on Wikipedia). Unlike e.g. supposed famous bloggers, the number of google hits is not a helpful measure of notablitlity. This article does need to be expanded.Obina 09:36, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
