List of locales in Britain where ant species have become locally extinct

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

An unencyclopaedic and unreferenced article which I wouldn't have though meets the notability guidelines. There is already List of ants of Great Britain which can cover this information Jack (talk) 15:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and Merged by nomintor Nominator should have elected to have this page merged instead of deleted. travb (talk) 16:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This is almost silly. This is trivial information that really shouldn't even be included in the main article. Also, it isn't a likely search term so a redirect would be pointless. Just ditch the article because this WP:TRIVIA shouldn't be on here. Tavix (talk) 17:36, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of ants of Great Britain, probably in the form of slapping more footnotes noting that certain species are now extinct. MuZemike  ( talk ) 22:19, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: None of the species listed on the page are extinct in Great Britain; the page talks of specific towns where the ant species were recorded previously, but weren't in more recent studies. Jack (talk) 22:29, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, maybe merge some data but as a redirect this serves no purpose. Usrnme h8er (talk) 22:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * A redirect would serve a purpose if something was merged. It would give proper credit for the merged information and show when it was added. - Mgm|(talk) 09:13, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete every species has become extinct in some patch of the world somewhere (except rats maybe), but we don't have lists of such places, let alone ones specifying different types of creature. On the bright side, nominate this for WP:DAFT. Totnesmartin (talk) 23:44, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
