:*(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]]).

(edit following) Re-reading the article, it lists [[David Hayter]] as a [[Herpetologist]] with a nickname of "Solid Snake".

*'''Delete''' per the impressive research by CambridgeBayWeather. Of course, if the guys behind this keep at it, they might be able to turn it into a notable Internet hoax, in which case, it would deserve an article ''as a hoax''. But it's not a notable hoax ''yet'', and, thanks to vigilant people like CambridgeBayWeather, they'll have to make it notable without the aid of Wikipedia.

*'''Strong Keep and Clean Up''' The rare creature exists, but there isn't much info on it as it is rare. There are no pictures of it as of yet because they're so hard to capture in film.
