Sorbus fosteri

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There is no evidence that the scientific name "Sorbus fosteri" was ever published. There is a single old advert archived in 2011 that says a plant by this name is for sale and that it was recently named, but the name does not appear in a Google Scholar search, the International Plant Names Index or any other taxonomic database I have looked at. The article has been disputed since 2011. It should now be deleted as it has become the only 'live' source of information on this supposed species and so is spreading mis-information.

 * Agree, it should be deleted, for the reasons Peter’s stated. If this is a vote, I vote Delete Hamamelis (talk) 14:22, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete -- Seems like an invalid taxon to me. Google search results are full of wikipedia mirror sites mentioning this species. Reliable sources do not mention it.-- Melaleuca alternifolia  |  talk  19:16, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, presumably one of many plant cultivars given what looks like a scientific name back in the day when this was common. But it has no currency. Abductive  (reasoning) 05:40, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
