Arctic shark

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete as a hoax; arctic shark is not a common synonym for any shark species (google finds one or two refs to greenland sharks, but this is rare). Latin name and picture are for a great white shark, although the genus in the taxobox and binomial authority are new to science. Originally included many obviously false claims, but the author removed them when article was prodded. TeaDrinker 07:56, 14 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment: If there is no species known as Arctic shark, can the information in the Arctic shark article be changed to contain "probably" relevant info like this? -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me / My edits 08:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:V. To Amarrq: No, unless the question of arctic sharks is notable. --Dhartung | Talk 10:24, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The article referenced by Amarrg is about "sharks in the arctic", not any species called "Arctic shark". JohnCD 12:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. If a reliable source says the term is used in reference to the Greenland shark, redirect it there. --Evb-wiki 16:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Just let the AFD run for a definitive decision... it doesn't really meet any CSD. --W.marsh 18:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
