The result was Delete per WP:SNOW. The sourcing here is not even remotely reliable enough to verify that the topic even really exists in a meaningful sense.. Steven Walling • talk 07:03, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

The concept of "intellectual disability in animals" does not seem to exist. It is not a topic studied in the context of eg veterinary medicine or biology. There are no reliable sources in the article and no such sources could be found or have been provided. See the section Talk:Intellectual_disability_in_animals#Does_the_concept_of_"intellectual_disability"_exist_in_animals? for further discussion. TempusTacet ( talk) 15:22, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Ridiculous article. Cites the websites Cuteness.com and onlinepsychologydegree.info. Probably a hoax. I can find reliable sources on animal models of intellectual disability (in humans) but that's not the same thing. WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk) 17:32, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - did a search on JSTOR, all results lead to intellectual disability in humans, found nothing about intellectual disability in animals. Doesn't look like it's something that's widely studied. Jaguarnik ( talk) 17:40, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete: Agree with nom. Article appears to be a hoax. User:Let'srun 18:39, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Agree, looks like a hoax. Lijil ( talk) 20:10, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Speedy delete per nominator and above. Horrific sourcing about anything vaguely medical is intolerable. -- SilverTiger12 ( talk) 17:53, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: If my sources were horrific I’m sorry and I would never on purpose use any third class sources on any Wikipedia. If the article was not that good please erase and I’ll never create this page on Wikipedia again. You have my words. Angela Kate Maureen Pears 17:55, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete I'm not sure that it's a hoax, however, it's definitely borderline. Tropical Storm Angela is the page creator and seems to support deletion as well... Dusti *Let's talk!* 23:00, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
