Eagle shark[edit]

Most likely a hoax, can not find in fishbase or ITIS which is claimed to have the species listed, since the species supposedly was discovered in 1958 you would expect some hits in google, no matching hits on James Lyle either. Could probably be deleted under G3 but will put up here for some further investigation. If deleted the image [1] should also be deleted. Article and image is created by different users and different days, elaborated hoax. --Stefan ^talk 14:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also the nachos is a good hint! --Stefan ^talk 15:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - hoax. Nothing on Google or Scholar either (or in relevant WP articles like Carcharhinidae and requiem shark). Article and image created by "different" users but on the same day, 3 August, and neither has any other edits. JohnCD (talk) 15:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax. The ill-formed binomial name (Carcharhinus Aquila) is another tip-off this wasn't based on any reputable source. Hqb (talk) 15:18, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch, I missed that one, I have issues with Latin names :-) --Stefan ^talk 15:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I know a lot about sharks, especially the strange ones, and I've never heard of this. Obvious hoax. --Lord Sunday 15:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a hoax, albeit a well-crafted one! -- JediLofty ^User_Talk 16:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete doesn't appear on IUCN Red List search either, which article claims its on -Hunting dog (talk) 16:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above: it's a hoax. Cliff smith ^talk 16:51, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as hoax. If one worked at it, the range map will likely prove to be copied from that for some other species. Stan (talk) 17:08, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
