Big Four (American snakes)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Core article information is bogus. Jwinius (talk) 23:54, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can find no reliable sources using this terminology. There are more than four venomous snakes in N. America and the "main" types number three or two depending on classification methodology. Four are listed here but these are sources of lower reliability than some others. Quite a few of the sources I found discuss only snakes of a certain region like a US state (Texas, Florida), and again numbers vary as high as six. The only reliable uses of "Big Four" are the Big Four (Indian snakes) (ex.). --Dhartung | Talk 02:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unless it gets reliably sourced before AfD closure. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  02:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Subjective, arbitrary unreferenced choice of four snakes. Omits other rattlesnakes which are a hazard in some regions of the U.S. Information about which snakes do most of the bites, or which snakes cause most of the deaths, could be included in the Snakebite article, which does not appear to give regional breakdowns.
