This article has no references, and I can't see how it would be notable. Talk tome (Intelati) 18:11, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete no sources, seems like I've heard of this idea a few times before with different elements. Beach drifter (talk) 18:25, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Delete db-g1 patent nonsense --CompRhetoric (talk) 18:41, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * G1 doesn't apply to hoaxes, it applies to literal nonsense. Looks hoaxy to me, the "further reading" section has a wildly unclear relationship to the content of the entry. Delete as hoax/unverifiable unless coherent sources turn up. Hairhorn (talk) 20:26, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Good point. --CompRhetoric (talk) 22:14, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete in absence of good refs. The Interior (Talk) 20:56, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as hoax. Cynthia Moss's book exists, as I don't doubt do the others. I am always wary of citations to books only. I am especially wary of one like "Mitochondrial cytochrome b of the lyakhov mammoth (proboscidea, mammalia): New data and phylogenetic analyses of elephantidae", which is about genetic material in the cells found in "a 49000-year-old Siberian individual" (quoted from http://regis.cubedeglace.com/http://regis.cubedeglace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/debruyne_et_al_20031.pdf ) and refers to a Russian mammoth, not Indian elephants. Looks good, though, doesn't it? Peridon (talk) 21:48, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment and recommendation If you have not already done so, please read "The Blindmen and the Elephant". I'd forgotten that one.... Peridon (talk) 21:54, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as a hoax. There are absolutely no sources. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  12:13, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BULLSHIT: Many elephants died later on as a result of the extreme shock of having their bodies fired out like gunshots with no prior warning what-so-ever while peacefully eating, mating, or during some other activity in their life-cycle. Carrite (talk) 06:37, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Complete bollocks.
