[edit] Vasudha parrot

Vasudha parrot (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsoureced article, very short. huji—TALK 13:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Likely hoax, a total of two ghits, and both are on simple.wiki. Not going to commit one way or another, tho, it would be better to get more discussion. Yngvarr (t) (c) 14:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Looking at the user name that created it and ploughing through various search engines to no avail, this is almost certainly a WP:HOAX Pedro :  Chat  14:37, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Probable hoax. Parrots live in temperate and tropical regions, I believe the birds cannot live in such cold places--Lenticel ^(talk) 14:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

A few can, most famously the Kea. Sabine's Sunbird talk 20:47, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

They could probably exist since there are parrots in India that could go there, get isolated, and adapt. I hope a scientist could observe them in the field and publish a journal article because they really don't have any presence in the net. However, given that the creator's contribs I stand by my delete stance. By the way, the Kea looks rugged.--Lenticel ^(talk) 01:35, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete almost certainly a hoax. Not one hit on seven different search engines. It's been nominated for deletion on the Simple English Wikipedia as well. Hut 8.5 15:37, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Probably not a hoax, but the name of that bird in some local language. Should be redirected there. Parrots generally live in warm climates, but adapting from a tropical mountainous to an alpine niche would be a typical case of speciation. I have notified the twitchers at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds--Victor falk 17:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy close The only thing that has been twitched is a hoax.--Victor falk 14:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. According to one book the Blossom-headed Parakeet moves as high as 1800 m in the Himalayas and several other parrots go above 1500 m, but unless we have a local to help us there is no way whioh of the species is being alluded to. If there was a scientific name we might be able to make a redirect but I can't find one. Sabine's Sunbird talk 20:47, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. If it was a mythical bird, it is not notable enough. Non-existent as a real bird. If it was a pure Sanskrit name, there should'nt have been a "parrot" as part of it. Shyamal 02:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - probable hoax, unsourced, nothing on Google, Jimfbleak 06:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: The user's name is "VasudhaTheGreat". They have vandalised the Animal page and removed the vandalism warning. No valid Google hits. Very likely to be a hoax. --Teggles 09:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
