Gusteris

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

A Google search on 'Gusteris' turns up no information about this lizard. I'm wondering if this article is entirely made-up. Brian Kendig (talk) 18:05, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, after further inspection, I'm guessing it's an article the user translated from Greek. The user created two bird articles he said were translations from Greek, and other editors turned them into redirects to the bird species in question. But from the information in "Gusteris", I can't determine what particular lizard is the subject. - Brian Kendig (talk) 18:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Could be a salamander rather than lizard, but regardless, this article should not exist without sources. Looie496 (talk) 19:49, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Userfy I don't see the hurry to delete. The author previous wrote articles that could be linked to existing articles and it's rather likely this is another case. Instead of rushing to delete, we should give them a chance to improve the entry or give further information. - Mgm|(talk) 11:07, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The article was written by User:WarrioRSupremE, who appeared from January 27-29 2008, created a few articles which all (but this one) have since been turned into redirects, and hasn't been seen since. - Brian Kendig (talk) 13:56, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete No sources cited, and when claiming its rarity, sources are necessary for its validity. Benjamin Dominic (talk) 19:32, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not hits on Google, nothing shows up in searches of web pages about Greek lizards. While it may be real, there is insufficient information to determine what it actually is, and what (if anything) it should be redirected towards. Somewhat reluctant delete, but it seems the best option. Anaxial (talk) 19:45, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - all lizards are reptiles, not amphibians. Under current taxonomy, there is no overlap between the two classes. B.Wind (talk) 07:17, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
