[edit] Golden chicken plant
This article was written based off some pictures of a plant seen on a blog, at [1]. The name of the plant is just something the blog writer came up with himself. Doesn't meet Wikipedia:Verifiability Xyzzyplugh 13:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Delete, blogs are not considered reliable sources. If appropriate resources are added by end of this AfD change to Keep Alf photoman 14:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)- Speedy delete, in light of Uncle G's comments I don't think there is a reason to prolong this Alf photoman 18:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- An illiterate "Does anyone know what this plant is?" discussion on a web log is not a suitable source for an encyclopaedia article, especially given the admission right at the top that this name is wholly made up. The only thing useful on the web log is one poster giving a binomial name, from which we find that we already have an article on the genus Cibotium, and are awaiting a proper article on the species Cibotium cumingii (named C. taiwanense by Kuo in 1985 but originally named C. cuningii by Kunze in 1841), for which this article is useless as a starting point, since it contains no verifiable content and doesn't even have the correct name.
