The result was unilaterally speedily replaced with a disambiguation page. I've also redirected Tock tock to this new dab page. Thryduulf (talk) 10:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page was tagged as needing verification in August 2008. Currently exists as a note saying it "previously redirected to List of Caribbean membranophones, probably incorrectly." The article's talk page indicated the tock-tock is a beetle and that the redirect was was wrong, and questioned whether the article should even exist. I added what I could find about the term, and it appears to be a Trinidadian term for claves (though the page I found seemed to indicate that the word claves was well-known and used as well). I also found a reference to the beetle, but searching the scientific name brought up other spellings that seemed to me more likely. There is no Wikipedia article for the beetle in question. The page could be used as a redirect to claves, but seems to me to be to minor to warrant doing, or to an article on the beetle, if one is created, though the other names seem better candidates for that. My feeling is it should be deleted (my explanation is better on the talk page), but I defer to the judgment of the group Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 17:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
