Takatika Grit theropod

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The name "Takatika Grit theropod" never used in the literature. The remains from the deposit are not suggested to represent a single taxon and therefore the term "Takatika Grit theropod" is a misnomer and WP:OR. As far as I am aware, individual fossils not part of a named species fail the GNG unless they are especially significant, like the Gurlin Tsav skull. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:35, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Merge/redirect - see below. Agree with nom; this article including its title is an interpretation of various publications, but does not represent a recognized (or even single) thing. Takatika Grit as a lagerstaette (I gather) would probably make a good article, and that's where I would merge this to. But in absence of such an article - delete. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:20, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * there is currently a Draft:Takatika Grit that was previously declined due to a lack of refs, but these have since been added, do you think the content should be merged there? Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:41, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * There we go; looks like a reasonable draft. Yes, I'd suggest jumping that out of the queue and merging to it. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 01:36, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Moved Takatika Grit to mainspace, cleaned up a little. Actually I think there's little merging to be done, the salient points (and the refs) are already in the table - just redirect? -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:02, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
