Delete as per linked AfD - these species are essentially taxonomic phantoms that can never be nailed down now that they are extinct. No basis for an article. (Maybe don't make the nomination that terse though, at first I thought there wasn't a rationale at all) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:11, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: not formally described? Then definitely not notable. Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 19:50, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not officially extinct, and real enough to warrant listing in the Red List. Once it is formally described, the article can be moved to the new name. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 11:47, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and above. Only formally described species are considered automatically notable, and this fails GNG and SIGCOV besides. SilverTiger12 (talk) 04:32, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
