Would have prodded this, since it is such an obvious case of WP:NOTNEWS, but the editor constantly re-creates the article, first it was rejected at AfC by Johannes Maximilian, the following day it was created in mainspace, but then moved to draft by Deb, after which it was submitted without improvement and declined by AngusWOOF, after which it was simply recreated in mainspace, again without improvement.

Delete. The article is highly misleading and accuses a living person of a crime (murder). This is not compliant with WP:BLP. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 13:27, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if nothing else on TNT grounds; the article is written with such emotion and sense of righting wrongs that it would have to be rewritten from scratch if the incident were proven notable. The key thing for notability is the claim that this incident led to a change in the law (which would give the event lasting meaning) but so far as I can make out, the source used to support this claim doesn't refer to this specific incident. The final citation about the law doesn't refer to animal cruelty at all (it's about mining and indigenous lands). I would say speedy, but the article (fortunately) fails to identify the person who killed the dog. Elemimele (talk) 15:35, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
