Brisbane insects

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

A list of the stick insects (as that is all this page is, and, judging from its maintainer, will ever be) found in one city is completely inappropriate. There is simply no need for this level of detail- as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, a single parent article on the fauna (or perhaps just insects) of Australia would be fine. Note that the article is also orphaned. J Milburn (talk) 20:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete -- per nom. The external link given is perhaps the only possible source of information, leading one to think this article exists merely to promote said website. - Longhair\talk 06:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep -- new improved article with a new focus. - Longhair\talk 23:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Stick it somewhere other than Wikipedia. WWGB (talk) 11:06, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, on the one hand, I think a list of species that inhabit a particular habitat or place would have encyclopædic merit, on the other hand, I agree totally with Longhait above. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC).

 * Keep I added a link, in a ref section, that establishes the notability of this topic. While this verification was absent from the article when listed here, it is a legitimate article. The name has now has now been changed, thus the goal posts are changed, and I have demonstrated referencing to the new user. The consensus for pages of this type is established by notability guidelines, there are many similar examples of regional discussion of biota. Antipodean creatures are especially noteworthy, their isolation has produced unique ecologies and species. Peruse this search to see how it may be expanded and, I must say loudly, ENCOURAGED. cygnis insignis 16:54, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Consider me neutral after the improvements, I'll leave others to determine the consensus here. J Milburn (talk) 16:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Under its new title it appears encyclopedic enough and needs expansion--Takver (talk) 14:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - what a strange journey for an article - as long as it does not morph again - current title and progress would have no reason for the afd and weak jokes - such articles (current form) still need work SatuSuro 23:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
