Yakalo

Currently the article is a clear violation of WP:NOT#DICTIONARY. I attempted to find even some cursory source material in an effort to expand on this topic, but was unable to find almost anything but Misplaced Pages mirrors. This probably isn't a hoax, considering there are news archives with mentions of the animal, but it obviously never caught on enough to maintain notability. A lack of sources to be used for verification and a doubtful notability in modern agriculture leads me to think this should simply be deleted. VanTucky 21:50, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

  • If I look in google news archives I find a 1926 source which says "The meat of yakalos is said to be almost Identical with beef aside from being finer grained. The animals are hardy, can forage for themselves" and a 1975 source with someone saying "one disadvantage of cross-bred Yak cattle was that They were not very large beasts" The idea that notability has to be "maintained" is yakalo excrement, likewise the idea that wikipedia is an encylopedia only of modern agriculture. Who are you people. Kappa 00:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure what exactly I did to engender such a vicious response, but it is quite obivous to me that a subject that garners zilch in terms of significant coverage is non-notable. A few sentences in early 20th century news rags is not notability.What I meant by the "maintained" phrase is that, according to the source material available, the subject may have been notable for a brief moment in time, but certainly isn't by Misplaced Pages standards.

You use Words like "news rags" and "notable for a brief moment in time but not by wikipedia" and you don't expect to be hated by someone who want to be able to learn more about these things but can't? Kappa 14:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
