Does not meet WP:Sigcov required for all articles. No sources exist for this topic beyond the single cited (primary) source containing the initial description of the species. Esculenta (talk) 19:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: All species are notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  According to what policy? Esculenta (talk) 19:17, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:NSPECIES says: Species that have a correct name (botany) or valid name (zoology) are generally kept. Their names and at least a brief description must have been published in a reliable academic publication to be recognized as correct or valid. Because of this, they generally survive AfD. As of 2022, no officially named species listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Organisms has been deleted since at least mid-2016.

  That's not a policy or guideline, and "species articles are kept because they're kept at AfD" is a circular deletion rationale not based on any policy. JoelleJay (talk) 20:00, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Procedural close as this is nomination is strictly to prove a point. JoelleJay (talk) 20:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
