[edit] Dinosaur cloning
I'm a member of Wikiproject Dinosaurs & have written a few Featured dinosaur articles. I've also seen quite a few short dinosaur article on dubious specimens and some which may never be expanded due to lack of information. And then there's this article - it screams NN, OR & its subject matter is ripped from the Jurassic Park movies. It has no references, yet refers to "research" & says babble like "Many scientific controversies could be resolved by watching live dinosaurs interact with each other in nature parks" among other stuff. It is made by a user who apparently has created some other speedily deleted stuff also. I'd nominate for speedy deletion, but I'm not sure how to right now (will investigate), but be my guest if you want to for me (copy & paste?). It is obvious this article will never be encylopedic material. Leaving this sort of article makes new editors think that it's okay to add all the trivia from Jurassic park to actual dinosaur articles & makes a hard job harder for the Wikiproject Dinosaur team. Anyway, Delete or Speedy delete as patent nonsense -- Spawn Man 05:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete- It may not be patent nonsense (unintelligible gibberish), but it is nonsense and original research for sure. Unless someone can come up with some reliable sources for this notion, I'd say it was extinct before it began. -wizzard2k (C•T•D) 05:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. I considered the possibility this could be a halfway decent article about the obviously popular idea, but there's nothing there but the tar pit of WP:OR. No incoming links save a variety of creative alternate names. --Dhartung | Talk 06:28, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
