 * Symbol question.svg Article is newly created and is of acceptable length. QPQ provided. Article and hook are well cited; however, I don't find mention of Paranthropus boisei in source 2, which is provided to support the hook. FrB.TG (talk) 11:19, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Doh! You are correct. The species was actually originally named Zinjanthropus boisei.  I have cited this in the article.  The hook should be changed to suit this - Dumelow (talk) 17:40, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
