[edit] Grakora

The page describes a rather unlikely-sounding animal, which has 0 hits on google, and does not include any cites or references. FisherQueen 22:32, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete The animal is described as a marsupial yet the photo(shopped) clearly shows some type of ant. The dollar bill included in the photo for scale is almost definitely BS as even I (decidedly not a biologist) remember "why there can't be giant ants" from school. It's a hoax, and a poor one at that. Dina 22:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete the English phrase that I am too polite to mention describes it perfectly QuiteUnusual 22:57, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete of Uncylopedia entry. Antonrojo 23:10, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete per Dina. I REALLY wish this could be speedied, but I don't see under what rule it could be done. N Shar 23:24, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Either this insect animal doesn't exist, or the article violates WP:OR. We'll find a hoarde of Yetis before any Grakoras show up. Delta Tango | Talk 02:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete Several one-shot editors/sockpuppets have been removing the deletion/hoax templates. Keep on the lookout for sockpuppetry in this debate in the next few days. And don't you think that Greenpeace would come up with a "Save the Grakora" campaign during every ANWR debate? Caknuck 03:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
