Merge

[edit]

Should this be merged with the Cryptid section? --Jehan60188 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:43, 18 August 2010 (UTC).[reply]

  • Yes, at best this a subsection of North American cryptids Peter (talk) 12:13, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, fearsome critters are not cryptids, no more than a unicorn or dragon may be termed as such. Fearsome critters were developed as ruses for newcomers to the logging camps. They are a parody of natural history and were rarely ever intended more than a practical joke. While there have been practical jokers involved in cryptids, this is seen as a perversion of crytozoology. Whereas with fearsome critters, this is seen as the point. If you are going to count fearsome critters as cryptids, you might as well count the Easter Bunny and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer too. User:Tripodero (talk) 5:48 AM, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Tree-Squeak and other critters

[edit]

@IsaacTheChristianCryptozoologist, please discuss your changes here. The list is for links to critters with their own articles, like a directory to the most prominent examples. If you'd like Tree-Squeak (or other critters) mentioned, you should either make sure that it meets our notability requirements and create a draft of a new article, or make a case for expanding the list. Wikipedia works on a consensus model. Because your edits have been disputed, the onus is on you to convince other editors that they belong. Woodroar (talk) 21:37, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@IsaacTheChristianCryptozoologist, what's your question? Woodroar (talk) 22:00, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note that every entry in the article has its own Wikipedia article. Tree Squeak does not. If you want it in this list, then WP:Write the article first. To start a draft and submit it for review, see Wikipedia:Articles for creation. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:15, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
