Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Giant rat (2nd nomination)
There are numerous types of giant rat in both fact and fiction and so a dab-style page is quite sensible.  As an example of encyclopaedic coverage, see http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2V1tHqi4hLEC&pg=PA228 The Encyclopedia of Animals.  The name given to that species in that source is the smooth-tailed giant rat but that's currently a red link and the Rothschild's woolly rat|corresponding article is just a stub.   This demonstrates the need for a navigational page to help readers find these poorly-documented animals.  Specific aspects such as the Holmes story have great notability and so our |editing policy is to develop this material rather than to delete it.
