Dyrakus

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A rather wonderful hoax that sneaked through AFC just over an hour ago. The account in the article is entirely fanciful, the genus is untraceable in a Google search, the offline refs I’ve checked all seem bogus, and the image, taken from Commons, is nothing like what is described in the text. All evidence of this genus was first lost, then destroyed in a fire. Full marks for effort and inventiveness to the creator. Mccapra (talk) 07:00, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete -- where to begin? Never was a California warlord named Sabaqe. Rest is equally fanciful. Pity, as it's good writing. Wish it could be preserved somewhere for amusement of posterity. Hyperbolick (talk) 07:20, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment Maybe we should check other dinosaur articles created by 82.41.151.124 (as well as 77.99.156.192). There are quite a few. Editor also created the now deleted Draft:Riley with poop on his head so their contributions are not all scholarly. Liz Read! Talk! 18:39, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
