Does not meet GNG; insufficient RS coverage. Significant coverage appears only in fringe sources. –dlthewave ☎ 17:52, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Sources cited seems legit to me. Also see corresponding German article.
Keep There are multiple reliable sources and without checking the pages of each cited book there is no reason to believe they are insignificant. Meets GNG. Citrivescence (talk) 00:26, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the German article seems reasonable, and AGF for the in-print sources, this seems sufficiently justified. Nosebagbear (talk) 17:14, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - ref retrieved from Chinese page: https://darrennaish.blogspot.com/2006/02/. While this may be a blog, the author is a “palaeozoologist affiliated with the University of Southampton, UK”. It shows independent coverage. AGF for off-line sources, and together I believe that this shows that there is significant coverage. --DannyS712 (talk) 22:15, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, that blog cites some sources specifically about Gambo, including "Anon. 1997. In search of Gambo. Animals & Men 14, 11-13." and "Downes, J. 1997. Mission Impossible: the search for ‘Gambo’. Uri Geller’s Encounters 9, 50-53." that are not used in this article yet. --DannyS712 (talk) 22:17, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
