Just clearing this up...[edit]

The NZ theropod cannot be an allosaur. Australovenator was a neovenatorid, not an allosaurid. The NZ theropod is likely an abelisaur.

Also, why does this theropod need an article? We don't have articles for any other unnamed dinosaurs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.128.11 (talk) 04:03, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge discussion[edit]

I support the merge raised by FunkMonk. This article amounts to little more than one paragraph of useful information and another of tangentially relevant fluff text. It should absolutely be merged following project conventions. 2001:569:7CF0:9300:A47E:5CD:254B:F95 (talk) 04:38, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Only question is whether this fossil has ever been referred to as "Joan Wiffen's theropod" in the literature, or if that name was just invented for this article's title... FunkMonk (talk) 07:26, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion kinda died, but I popped here from the project main page and redirected it to the formation article, where I put the only relevant information. Never informally named, would be pointless at Theropoda, so it seemed the only reasonable place. IJReid ^{{{T - C - D - R}}} 05:51, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
