I have de-promoted the nomination based on discussion at DYK talk. Bruxton (talk) 18:53, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm giving this a hard fail. I've been going through the sources in the article. All the sources that say anything about Tolotos are all just crappy blogs that are reprinting the same dubious story from The Edinburg Daily Courier. Even the photo is something found on twitter with nothing that verifies that it's Tolotos (and on its way to being deleted). This never should have gotten past the initial DYK review. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:14, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
