This list was nominated 15 years ago and is showing its age. It also has serious scope issues. The list of dinosaurs includes both plants (!) and crocodiles. It is also a fork of “List of informally named dinosaurs”. I tried to reach a consensus on the talk page, but none was able to be made so I’m nominating for featured list review in order to get more opinions. Here are the primary concerns:
Keep This is simply not correct:
Olshevsky's "Dinosaur Genera List", a classic outside Wikipediameans? Because what I see is someone's personal hobby site, and I'm confused how that's a reliable source; I see that the text says George Olshevsky is a "biological nomenclature expert", but that's a strong (and important!) claim without a citation.
I'm going to go ahead and close this- after several months, there's no consensus to delist, discussion has dried up, and changes have been made to adjust for the potential confusion of genera that are no longer accepted as dinosaurs. I do think that this list could be further improved, but this process is not currently working towards any changes or consensus to delist. -- Pres N 18:37, 23 August 2021 (UTC) reply

This one probably should've been delisted back in 2012 - there was an old FLCR trending towards delisting that was deleted as part of the nuking of some sock contribs. This one contains significant uncited text, including some fairly bad sourcing such as a web forum and a Facebook conversation with no link to it. As I understand the FL criteria, this one would likely be quick-failed today. Large number of contributors, notifying those with over 5% authorship and the original FLC nominator. More familiar with FAR than FLCR, so please bear with me if I made any mistakes. Hog Farm Talk 02:00, 12 May 2021 (UTC) reply
