This article was merged into Koi in 2011, but discussion of the topic was removed from that article the following year. The redirect was nominated at RfD last month (see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 September 9#Human face fish), but the discussion was closed as no consensus. During the RfD Thryduulf argued that the article ought to be restored and nominated at AfD, which, given that nobody in the RfD discussion argued for the redirect to be kept, now seems to be most appropriate solution.

As I argued at RfD, the topic "amounts to an individual fish with a vaguely human-looking face that received some minor news coverage some years ago" (coverage of the sort described in the final sentence of WP:ROUTINE), and is not the only such fish to have been the subject of news coverage. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 21:31, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm neutral regarding the content, I just feel it is important that deletion of article content that doesn't meet the speedy deletion criteria take place an appropriate venue. AfD is such a venue, RfD is not. Thryduulf (talk) 21:52, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Barely a blip in the news, even at the time. Current references on the article are dead. Trying to find more turns up almost nothing about this fish, just mainly youtube videos. There's more news about a shark being talked about as having a human face. This hardly seems a remarkable thing, nor one that drew much attention even at the time it happened. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:39, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
