[edit] Irwin's Crocodile (Hoax)

This was created by an anon 203.164.94.198 (talk • contribs) yesterday as Irwin's Crocodile, and Smadge1 (talk • contribs) renamed it to Irwin's Crocodile (Hoax). Perhaps he's unfamiliar with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. I have reverted Smadge1's odd edits back to the original version posted by the anon. I didn't have time to research this, no vote. -- Curps 09:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as hoax. Google will throw up 1000's of hits for "Irwin's crocodile" but there are related to famous crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, rather than to a genus. Do the search as ""Irwin's Crocodile" NOT Steve" and result is only on Wikipedia and a mirror site. Vizjim 11:15, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. A Google search on this comes up without third party verification. Furthermore, I live in Australia and I haven't heard of it. If a new species of crocodile had been found on Steve Irwin's crocodile farm, we certainly would have heard of it. After all, he is hardly publicity shy.
