Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because...

Complete nonsense; this nomination shows ignorance of deletion criteria and specifically usage of same for species articles. This is a different species than the domesticated yak, and there is a huge amount of material on the topic, which has not yet been added merely because the article is only a couple hours old at this point. Please hold your horses, mate. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:45, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Further to the frantic deletion attempts playing out,, please note the following -

a) "you don't just delete a nomination like that" - yes I do; as is stated in the template message, if I'm not the article's creator and feel I have a good reason to object, I may do so. In this case, the deletion being clearly not "uncontroversial", your next step will have to be AfD. However, I advise you not to go that route because

b) there are good reasons for splitting Yak into a domestic and a wild form article. First, they are incontrovertibly classified as different species; have a gander at Yak. Generally we avoid such lumping in asingle article. Second, most information pertaining to the first is disparate from that pertaining to the second - population sizes, distribution, status, relationship to humans, etc. The split has accordingly been proposed before on the talk page but has not been carried out. I'm glad that an editor has been bold in splitting the article now, and although I have a suspicion that they don't intend to actually go to the trouble of fleshing out wild yak, I'll be happy to see to that today. If you are still unhappy with the result, I'd then ask you to raise the matter on Talk:Yak; if consensus is to undo the split then, go ahead by all means.-- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)


 * The “Long-hair fur forehead yak” a subspecies that is almost extinct no mention of it here but with a photograph in this informative article that is not mentioned in this wiki either.

The long quote
Is the long quote copy right violation because of it's length? KingfisherL (talk) 22:54, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't believe so; the applicable guidelines are somewhat vague about what constitutes an "acceptable length", but this example does not exceed what is common throughout WP, and I don't foresee any trouble about it. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:43, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
