This is simply a dic def. The entire article is simply OR with no prospect of ever becoming a fully fledged article. Delete and Transwiki. BlueValour 01:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Plenty of room to expand into discussion of what makes the charismatic megafauna so appealing and how their appeal has been leveraged. Hesperian 01:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - the snag is that I have found no sources that would enable this to be done, apart from one or two blogs. If this can be properly sourced up then I should be happy to withdraw the nom. BlueValour 01:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I've just added a Further Reading section with two scholarly articles on the concept of charismatic megafauna, both of which use the name in their titles. Hesperian 01:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Now four articles. Hesperian 01:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Widely used term; should be expanded to cite specific examples of use such as polar bears and global warming. The way, the truth, and the light 01:26, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep as nomination withdrawn - sufficient sources have been added to show that this is expandable. BlueValour 01:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
