Antarctica penguin deaths

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A news story about the deaths of an overly-specific group of penguins, who likely relocated rather than died. At the very least, an inappropriate page name. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 04:54, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per NOTNEWS that is also FAKE. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:57, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not fake at all, it is a well-established finding (and the required references are there), but not worth an article. Might be worth a mention in Adélie penguin if that article were to be expanded with a population ecology & conservation section. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:21, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read the last paragraph? The reports of their demise were greatly exaggerated. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:09, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware - it's a colony size decline mostly driven by emigration, not mortality. It's still a significant finding that clarifies environmental mechanisms, kind of like the oil spills that affect the African penguins with which I work: rare catrastrophic events that can be used as impromptu experimental setups. Good stuff but not sensational enough for a standalone article. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:27, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Maybe the author should try to submit this to a clickbait trivia site. Natureium (talk) 18:33, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
