[edit] Trigonosaurus

Hoax dinosaur. On first appearance looks genuine, but Google turns up no reliable sources. If exists(or existed) it's unverifiable. Changed to Keep after sources & interwiki link provided. Apologize for any toes I stepped here. Srikeit^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 17:27, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete As nominator. As above --Srikeit^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 17:27, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, unless it can be verified.. Keep, references added. PJM 13:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This author has caused a lot of problems with incorrect information in various dinosaur articles. Fan1967 15:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• OK, I'm not so sure on this one. A couple google hits seem to show this as a new classification. Fan1967 15:19, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Week Keep. Recently describe "new" dinosaur, looks like the Dutch Wikipedia has a longer article. A problem may be verification as there seems to be only one paper published so far.--blue520 15:43, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. I really do not think this is a hoax. Firstly, assume good faith on the part of the creator of the article, User:Elmo12456. He contributes a lot on dinosaurs and added this article because it was listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/missing. It was added to that list on the 27th April 2006 by User:Dracontes, who again contributes an awful lot on dinosaurs and is also a native speaker of Portugeuse. The journal referenced by the Dutch Wikipedia article is Arquivos do Museu Nacional, a Brazilian journal. Dracontes would be able to read that. RupertMillard (Talk) 16:16, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Also: Please do not assume (standard) good faith on the part of User:Elmo12456. Nearly every contribution written by this user has had to be re-written. This user's contributions need to be regularly monitored; despite his long list of contributions to dinosaur articles, only around four have remained unmodified.--Firsfron 22:03, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as per RupertMillard. -- Kjkolb 16:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Brand new diosaur that hasn't percolated through google yet. Use the literature, not google! See [1].Dinoguy2 17:17, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep since shown not to be a hoax. However, I can't fault the nominator here, as we can't take chances on hoaxes, and we do see plenty of those. Good research all around, folks. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This one's real, although so new it's pretty obscure. Author who created this WP article did in fact create a mistaken or hoax article, so it's nice to see someone was watching.--Firsfron 21:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
