Did you know... that the whereabouts of the last northern bald ibis who knows the birds' migratory route are unknown, and without her, the species may face extinction in the wild in Syria?

NO to delete[edit]

As soon as a good topic for an article is started, people will attack by trying to delete it. So consider the following....

The BBC reports "Zenobia...is the only remaining bird who knows the migration routes to wintering grounds in Ethiopia. Without her, birds bred in captivity cannot learn the migration routes and the species could go extinct in the wild in Syria, say ornithologists. "

(bolded added...) This is proof of notability. Zenobia is more notable that US President Obama, who will be replaced in 2016 but Zenobia cannot be replaced.

Also, there are many notable sources and reliable sources.

Therefore, do not delete. Dharahara (talk) 18:10, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If there is an AFD, transfer the above to the vote. Dharahara (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
