Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siripiscuipi

The fact that the article title matched the user name of the (apparently) new user who had created it drew my attention to this article, subsequent fact checking gleans one google match for Siripiscuipi and none for the supposedly Latin term for this animal. To be honest I get the impression that this has just been made up by someone. -- Graham &#9786; | Talk 20:11, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Many people doubt about it's existence because of the siripiscuipi's night habits and little scientific documentation.
 * Please also consider Siripescuipi, which gets zero google hits and would be a speedy delete had this other one not been created first. -- Graham &#9786; | Talk 22:29, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, if not confirmed to exist. Andris 22:32, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Congo-Asiatic? Huh?  What? An avatar?  Sure seems iffy.  Will change if confirmed. Geogre 00:28, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete Siripiscuipi and Siripescuipi: pranks. Look for other stuff by same author. Wile E. Heresiarch 04:53, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. The one Google hit is on the "Siripiscuipi" user name for a "Jaime" who posted once on a Chilean message board.  Wouldn't be surprised if it's the same person.  Appears to be a fabrication. Antandrus 15:35, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. That something don't get google hits do not means that it doesn't exist, you bunch of nerds. User:200.9.100.136
 * Do you really think that resorting to petty insults is going to get us to take your point of view seriously? -- Graham &#9786; | Talk 21:40, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Please, next time you run over a patent nonsense, use Speedy deletions. Keeping such article for 5 voting days is an insult to common sense. Mikkalai 15:40, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, preferably speedily. Patent nonsense.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 23:57, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete but not speedy. A hoax is not patent nonsense according to our deliberately narrow definition. Rossami 03:04, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * KEEP I'm chilean and this animal really exists. It's common in maize plantations areas, from where it takes it's name. Siripi it's a "chicha" (a kind of wine) from the bolivian highlands and Cuipi it's a derivation of the latin word cupio that means "to wish".

 * Delete, patent nonsense. Fictional has the chupacabras. The photos don't prove anything (perhaps a stuffed coipo or furry slippers). Add scientific or serious references if they exist to prove your information. --Jorge GG 14:27, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) . I´m also a chilean so I think the whole thing is a joke.
 * Delete unless a scientific name for the animal is given, and a verifiable citation for it, before the expiration of the VfD discussion period. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 16:27, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  23:52, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep,In the "Historia Natural Ediar" edited in 1940 by the compañia argentina de editores, apears the Sirispiscuipi in page 226 next together to the Tucu-tucu of Santa Cruz and the Cururu of Magallanes, and its scientific name is Ctenomys Icalmoide.
 * Here's a page showing the taxonomy of the genus Ctenomys . I see no species Icalmoide. Here also is one in English:  Please provide us a link to a scientific site that explains the omission. Antandrus 04:19, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Del. Non-verifiable, despite attempted anonymous Proof by Blatant Assertion. --Jerzy(t) 04:13, 2004 Sep 9 (UTC)
 * Delete - I speak Latin, and siripiscuatem is not a Latin word. Besides, what is up with that Congo-Asiatic?? Aecis 17:25, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
