Derwent hippo
Apparent hoax - no google hits for "Derwent hippo" that are not wikipedia clones. This page is the only ever edit from page creator - back in March 2006. -- Chuq 07:50, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless verified, which seems unlikely. Grutness...wha?  08:06, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. East river whitefish gets more ghits, and it's on BJAODN. Tubezone 08:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mentioned source doesn't exist. This sounds suspiciously like the tree stub warthogs I used to see in the woods a few years back... - Mgm|(talk) 09:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - I lived in Hobart in the late 1980s, used to see these things all the time but never heard the term "Derwent hippos". The scope is too narrow in location and time to be a notable and verifiable slang term, and the phenomenon, while interesting, is surely not isolated to the Derwent only, but most rivers with a pulp or paper mill. --Canley 11:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
