Paraceratherium giganteum

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

Apparently an elaborate hoax. No google hits, except for an article on the Spanish Wikipedia by the same editor. The editor's other contribution, Farandona suffers from the same symptoms. Hesperian 01:14, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. If it's a hoax, it's vandalism.  Note that the genus Paraceratherium is real.  Parts of this appear to be cut and pasted from the original article. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:35, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
