Picklescott's leech

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

Appears to be a modified version of the "Medicinal Leech" article that describes a nonexistent species of leech. No description of Picklescott's Leech can be found in non-Wikipedia-derived online sources, and the sources cited do not mention Picklescott's leech. Antidespotic (talk) 18:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Likely hoax. Slightly modified content from European Medical Leech. No Google Scholar or Books or News hits. Citations in article are not about Picklescott's leech, but leeches in general. -Atmoz (talk) 20:45, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - obvious hoax, in view of lack of relevant information in references and Scholar, and amount of material copy-pasted from European Medical Leech. JohnCD (talk) 21:09, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - obvious hoax, Hirudo interegus is claimed as a binomial name (which does not exist) while the infobox still calls it H. medicinalis. Tim Vickers (talk) 21:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:SNOW Delete: A hoax. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 23:56, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
