Delete as nom. Partial title matches. They aren't dabs and they aren't valid list articles. See also:

Delete. Pointless article. Somebody went to a lot of work compiling this list, but it has no significance to anyone else. --MelanieN (talk) 17:19, 1 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]
Delete - it is very hard to imagine how this page would be used in research. Would a reader really say, "I remember a bird called a Dusky something-or-other and will look it up using the first word of its common name." That could be done from the search window. This article is like a disamb page based on first name instead of surname. Racepacket (talk) 01:11, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's quite likely - Jonny4026 (talk) 15:28, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - bizarre and useless list. Bearian (talk) 03:35, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It's a pretty radical article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonny4026 (talk • contribs) 11:33, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to Dusky Sound, which is the only thing on the list that could maybe be referred to as just "Dusky." Propaniac (talk) 16:54, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What? Do you never want to find various dusky animals? Jonny4026 (talk) 08:31, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I feel bad about this. It obviously took someone a lot of work to compile this list. But it's pretty much useless. WP:LIST. Lord Spongefrog, (Talk to me, or I'll eat your liver!) 10:43, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
