Muzaffarabadmachli

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The lede describes this fossil fish species as "a dubious species for the dubious genus [...] Muzaffarabadmachli". Single ref, link given goes to the wrong publication - the correct one (acc. to PBDB) appears to be something I cannot even link to due to blacklisting; that publisher is Scientific Research Publishing, a house of ill repute. No other hits in the literature except for original description. - As recently discussed, this author has an uncertain reputation; taking that into account and considering the only source is a predatory journal, I don't believe we should keep this taxon article. Redirecting to the fish equivalent of List of informally named dinosaurs may be an option, but I don't think we have that. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:13, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Only appears in a predatory Scientific Research Publishing publication, which is not reliable.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 09:33, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
