'''Delete'''. Likely hoax as Google shows 21 results for the term "Repives" (and no, I didn't mean "Recipes").

:*(another edit conflict) Sorry, ArrEmmDee. I did a google search just now [http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&gbv=2&safe=off&q=Repives+%2Bsnake&btnG=Search], and there seems to be some evidence of it being a snake, but most of it is just stuff on Pokemon.

**Well, one reason to create a fake page about a snake would be that the creator of the page wanted to attempt to fool the deletion proponents into thinking that this was a real snake and not just somebody's imagination getting overactive. --[[User:Dennisthe2|'''<span style="background:Orange;color:Black">Dennis The Tiger</span>''']] ([[User talk:Dennisthe2|Rawr]] and [[Special:Contributions/Dennisthe2|stuff]]) 03:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''' - unsourced, fails [[WP:ATT]]. If it's a real animal, then there's surely some [[WP:RS]] that would support this. --[[User:Haemo|Haemo]] 01:03, 10 April 2007 (UTC) |

*'''Delete'''. Evidently it's a hoax. [[User:SallyBoseman|SallyBoseman]] should find a more effective way of deletion page discussions though, instead of throwing out wild accusations. --[[User:ArrEmmDee|ArrEmmDee]] 01:06, 10 April 2007 (UTC) |

*'''Strong delete''' as hoax. Note that "repives" is simply an [[anagram]] of [[seviper]] - a pokemon that matches the description almost to the letter at the time of my !vote. Google search turns up that this is probably just another pokemon - I suspect vandalism accordingly and will investigate. Only evidence to existence (above) is a page with little to no content that shows any existence of this as a bona fide snake, reptile, or pretty much anything that exists outside of the imaginations of some editors. Anecdotal evidence (something about one killing his grandmother) is not concrete. Conclusion: the article is complete [[WP:BOLLOCKS|balls]] that was [[WP:NFT|made up in school one day]]. --[[User:Dennisthe2|'''<span style="background:Orange;color:Black">Dennis The Tiger</span>''']] ([[User talk:Dennisthe2|Rawr]] and [[Special:Contributions/Dennisthe2|stuff]]) 01:41, 10 April 2007 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''' Hoax. To 75.117.248.88 with the "source" above. Thanks for pointing out that saucy little site. It was created [http://www.freewebs.com/snakesfan/oak.htm today], has a nice [http://www.freewebs.com/snakesfan/guestbook.htm message] of support from [[David Hayter]], a voice over actor (featured in the Repives article and is known as "Solid or Naked Snake"), who provided the voice for [[Solid Snake]]. But the best thing was the fact that the bit on the "Tasmanian Tiger Snake" at www.raresnakes.tk/ was copied from [http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/wildlife/reptile/tigr.html Parks and Wildlife Services - Tasmania] and it appeared almost word for word as a copyvio in [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Notechis&diff=121591822&oldid=118816899 Notechis]. The "Louisiana Pine Snake" is copied from [http://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/newsroom/newsrelease/2004/nr_2004-04-30-pinesnakes.htm United States Department of Agriculture - Forest Service]. It's been a while since I saw a fake web site created to try and back up a bunch of nonsense like this. 03:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[[User:CambridgeBayWeather|CambridgeBayWeather]] [[User_talk:CambridgeBayWeather|(Talk)]] |

****Partly but it's also [[WP:AGF]]. There are a lot of things in the world that I know nothing about and the few minutes it takes to check that link out might pay off. And guess what, it did, I removed a copyright violation from Wikipedia. People who go to all the work of creating a hoax like this need to have the point driven home that we know it's a hoax. If you don't they just will not stop with their comments about how real it is and follow up with other actions to prove it ([[WP:BEANS]]).

*'''Strong delete''' If this was a real snake, however rare it might be, it would be on google all over the place. (edit following) Re-reading the article, it lists [[David Hayter]] as a [[Herpetologist]] with a nickname of "Solid Snake". In reality David Hayter is a voice actor who lends his voice to the character Solid Snake in the [[Metal Gear (series)]].
