 * Comment&mdash;This topic is more or less already covered in more detail by List of animal names. Perhaps the entries can be merged there, if they don't already exist? Regards, RJH (talk) 16:42, 17 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as indiscriminate and questionably accurate list. Mangoe (talk) 17:08, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per CSD A10, recently created article that duplicates an existing one (List of animal names, possibly others) without expanding on it or improving it. Or, snow delete for the same reasons and as an indiscriminate list; there is no obvious or meaningful inclusion criteria other than "here are some animals I thought of."  It also indiscriminately groups individual species with families, lists order and family names together as one term as if they were scientific names, miscapitalizes species names, misspells many names, and gets others just plain wrong.  Hmm...maybe even speedy delete as a test.  postdlf (talk) 17:23, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete Vague and impossible scope. Complete nonsense. Author incorrectly wrote scientific names bolded and with both generic and specific names capitalized. And it seems he actually uses higher taxonomic ranks in place of the genus and species, or else treats entire groups of animals as a single species. Rabbits for example are supposedly "Leporidae Cuniculas" while Rhinoceroses are apparently bestowed with the name of the order they belong to and the family. All pseudolatinized to resemble binomina, which makes no sense.--   Obsidi ♠ n   Soul   17:58, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
