Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of species of animals
Although technical compliant with , this list is a classic violation of . The term ''animal'' in the context of a WP list could only be more indiscriminate if it was changed to ''every living thing''.  A variety of sources indicate there are from 2-15 millon species in the Kingdom Animalia.  That would make for a very long list.  I have created many a list of animals (List of non-marine molluscs of Montana for example) but I think if I tried to add the 197 animals in that list to this list, someone would say ''Whoa''.  This was created by a new editor whom I will engage directly with some advice
