Speedy deletion nomination of Cockatrice Awareness and Protection Campaign
A tag has been placed on Cockatrice Awareness and Protection Campaign, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Fæ (talk) 22:05, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

 * It's a hoax. There is no such thing as a cockatrice.  It looks like he took a page from PeTA and just changed a few words.   —  Soap  —  22:20, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, yes it would have been more accurate to raise a G3 CSD rather than a G1. I shall think twice next time. I actually was aware these are mythological (in non-archaic use of the word); I first found out about cockatrices by reading one of the Xanth series. Those books were great for describing mythological creatures. Not listed at List of Xanth characters I notice. Fæ (talk) 22:36, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
