 * Symbol voting keep.svg Wildlife of the United Arab Emirates: New enough (created 30.11) and long enough, Arabian toad: Recently expanded (from 1.12), and long enough, Cheesman's gerbil: Recently expanded (from 1.12), long enough, Salsola imbricata: New (2.12), long enough. All articles are appropriately cited, neutral, interesting, and spot checks did not reveal close paraphrasing. Hook is neutral and interesting, and every hook fact is cited in at least one of the articles. I could verify the facts in online references, except for one AGF, a Google Books reference, which does not show details on my computer. Picture of the arabian toad is used in two of the articles, license if fine; and it has been assessed as a "Quality image" on Commons.QPQ done. Oceanh (talk) 22:00, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
