Meerkat Manor 2

This is another of a large number of forks of Meerkat Manor that have come to light recently. Anything that is here, verifiable, and not in Meerkat Manor should be merged, and then this redirect should be deleted. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 13:18, 5 October 2007 (UTC) *Merge anything verifiable to Meerkat Manor. Delete the rest. This is just a huge meaningless list outside of the parent article.--Sethacus 20:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a huge wall of text with no context, no sources, no verification. Are any/many of these even real? Yngvarr (t) (c) 13:26, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per above (no real context or sources). - Rjd0060 18:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax. None of the listed "groups" after the first section are mentioned in either Meerkat Manor or the Kalahari Meerkat Project site. Clarityfiend 19:10, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Changing to deleteper Clarityfiend and per my own research. I took a look at the original version of the article, which had two meerkat families: The "main" family, which contains some of the names of the meerkats in the series. The other, Salmoni, only seems to exist on fanboards. It's my feeling that the members of these fanboards created and maintained this article, through IPs and such, adding more families as their fanboard added them. One of them was blocked for conducting a MySpace-like environment on their talk page. The author of the article blanked the Meerkat Manor page and, I guess, tried to create another page for it under an alternate title. Call it a hoax, call it bored schoolkids making junk up, it doesn't belong here.--Sethacus 21:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'd also like to point out that this appears to be a breeding ground for creating made-up mobs . I haven't looked at the entire history, but this doesn't really appear to be an isolated incident. Yngvarr (t) (c) 21:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
