The Speculative Dinosaur Project

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable project speculating what the earth might maybe be like if dinosaurs had not died off BassoProfundo 23:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because its notability and suitability for Wikipedia are directly dependent on those of the Speculative Dinosaur Project article. Any other articles on hypothetical dinosaurs should be added to this list if found (also note that the first comment below from User:Javit was made before the additional nomination was made).:

I am also nominating another two related articles (added after comments by Javit, Horologium, Someguy1221, and Adrian M.H.) for the same reasons (also note many redirects have been created pointing at all these articles):


 * Delete per WP:VERIFY --Javit 23:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A look at the external link shows it to be something conceived by a bunch of college students, who apparently haven't updated anything since 3/2005. Non-notable, and fails WP:MADEUP. Horologium t-c 01:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. We could consider this as any other work of fiction, but in that case I'm still unable to find any reliable sources suggesting notability.  Someguy1221 05:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. They are not going to meet WP:V, and WP is not here to host ideas of what life might have been like if, to paraphrase Eddie Izzard, the dinosaurs had not held their AGM on the day the asteroid hit.  Adrian  M. H.  17:16, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all Google search looks thin: and after reading their website, the project doesn't sound serious. nadav (talk) 03:29, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * SaveThe Scientific Accuracy has no relevance, it's just a glimpse. It is just a project meant to be fun, There is no reason to attack it for being "innacurate". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.42.0.243 (talk • contribs).
 * Comment: At issue here is not the accuracy of the subject, but its notability. BassoProfundo 22:18, 10 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete all No assertion of notability. A look through the Google links shows some self-promotion and a few bloggers commenting on the project, as well as evidence the group is still active (current webpage) (blog for the project), but no evidence it could meet WP:NOTABILITY.
