This list was nominated 15 years ago and is showing its age. It also has serious scope issues. The list of dinosaurs includes both plants (!) and crocodiles. It is also a fork of “List of informally named dinosaurs”. I tried to reach a consensus on the talk page, but none was able to be made so I’m nominating for featured list review in order to get more opinions. Here are the primary concerns:
Keep This is simply not correct:
Olshevsky's "Dinosaur Genera List", a classic outside Wikipediameans? Because what I see is someone's personal hobby site, and I'm confused how that's a reliable source; I see that the text says George Olshevsky is a "biological nomenclature expert", but that's a strong (and important!) claim without a citation.
I'm going to go ahead and close this- after several months, there's no consensus to delist, discussion has dried up, and changes have been made to adjust for the potential confusion of genera that are no longer accepted as dinosaurs. I do think that this list could be further improved, but this process is not currently working towards any changes or consensus to delist. -- Pres N 18:37, 23 August 2021 (UTC) reply
