Pointless DYK subpages of Portal:Paleobotany

 * No links, just a picture, Fossil vegetable Phytolithus Derbyshire.jpg


 * No links, just a difft picture


 * Not DYKs, just links to an article "Paleontology in Somewhere", e.g. Paleontology in Iowa

All these 20 pages are part of the selection of 32 WP:DYK entries used in radom roatation at Portal:Paleobotany (see aso Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Paleobotany). However, none of them is actually a WP:DYK entry, so they should be deleted to remove them from the rotation.

They were all created in December 2015‎, and then abandoned. They appear to have been created as part of a systematised effort by the portal creator to build a bigger set of DYK entries, but which was never completed. That can easily happen when a project gets interrupted, so Abyssal's good faith effort to improve the portal did nothing wrong ... but we should now clean up by removing these non-DYKs so that they aren't displayed to readers. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 18:28, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't think that DYKs for portals have to be DYKs in the Main Page sense, but these have no value at all.  Hut 8.5  21:14, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
