Picklescott's leech[edit]

Appears to be a modified version of the "Medicinal Leech" article that describes a nonexistent species of leech. No description of Picklescott's Leech can be found in non-Wikipedia-derived online sources, and the sources cited do not mention Picklescott's leech.

Delete Likely hoax. Slightly modified content from European Medical Leech. No Google Scholar or Books or News hits. Citations in article are not about Picklescott's leech, but leeches in general. -Atmoz (talk) 20:45, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - obvious hoax, in view of lack of relevant information in references and Scholar, and amount of material copy-pasted from European Medical Leech. JohnCD (talk) 21:09, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - obvious hoax, Hirudo interegus is claimed as a binomial name (which does not exist) while the infobox still calls it H. medicinalis. Tim Vickers (talk) 21:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
