Potential WP:HOAX. No sources found to confirm this exists. ~Kvng (talk) 01:37, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The identifiers in the article also claim that the name is unaccepted. ✶Mitch 199811✶ 01:59, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of this genus name ever existing in this taxon group. This could well have been dealt with by the PROD, BTW.--Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:32, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If WP:PRODDED, it could be readily recreated. Not a great outcome for a hoax. ~Kvng (talk) 13:40, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Since it doesn't seem to actually exist or documented in reliable sources, this would not satisfy WP:NSPECIES. KoA (talk) 14:32, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note, another genus in this family has much of the same story. Should we also try to delete that one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitch199811 (talk • contribs)

Conchodus does appear to be a real, albeit obscure genus.[1] Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:25, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I added a citation from the Smithsonian on the article. A list of species, and possibly articles for them, could be made. ✶Mitch 199811✶ 02:00, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Can't find any sources that suggest that this genus actually exists. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:25, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
