List of prehistoric foraminiferans

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Esentially is a list of redlinks with a few links to disambiguation pages scattered about. Completely unsourced, does not meet WP:SAL (no lead in paragraph or any other descriptors), and is an WP:O without one page linking to it. J04n(talk page) 12:11, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. While no expert on the subject, I was able to supply a lead sentence.  Each of the red links there is a link to a potential encyclopedia subject, even if the subject is obscure and few have been written.  In its current state, the article may be adopted by an invertebrate paleontology project, if we have one. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:25, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. None of the reasons given are sufficient for deletion. The source of the names was an online version of a marine fossil genus list published by Jack Sepkoski for the purpose of tracking mass extinctions in the fossil record. You would know this if you had bothered to ask me what my source was before trying to delete the whole article. Abyssal (talk) 15:08, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per the confusingly-named Ihcoyc/Smerdis of Tlön.— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  20:08, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
