Weak Oppose Notability isn't really established in the article itself and it contains no citations. It states that the gecko is known for its call, but it is unreferenced. The above vote was me, sorry for forgetting to sign. --Banime (talk) 12:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Previous objection is unactionable, since this is not a review of articles, but of the sound file. I do wish there were more information on the recording—what time of day, who the recordist is, just a short phrase as to what the creature is, was it on a river bank?

I was just referring to the followering FS Criteria: Role. The file helps readers to understand the topic of an article. The file is used in at least one article, where it is supported by the text and, if appropriate, reference citations on the file description page. I stand by my weak oppose for that reason, I don't think the sound has an appropriate role especially in an unrefenced section of that article. --Banime (talk) 19:12, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Recordings of animals' cries and songs are inherently usefuul, even if the articles suck =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 05:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support It is very helpful sound file for readers/listeners to understand the subject's features.--Caspian blue (talk) 05:02, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
