This article, about an extinct Hawaiian land snail, is as clearly ready for FA status as any article I have ever seen. Per criterion 1b it "neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context", as I cannot imagine anyone would want to know anything about this snail not found on the page. Per criterion 1e, it is extremely stable, having changed very little since August 2019. Finally, per criterion 4, it absolutely avoids "going into unnecessary detail". The other criteria are boring and can safely be ignored. Sdkb (talk) 05:09, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - this is either a mock nomination or someone not understanding the criteria. Seems some kind of point is being made, but it's just a waste of everyone's time. If you want to see how a snail FA should look like, see Laevistrombus canarium. Even if little is known about this species, the fact that you don't even have a description of it should make it clear this is some sort of joke. FunkMonk (talk) 06:49, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
