India (cat)[edit]

Notability of pets

  • Strong oppose. Merging would unbalance the Bush article, and deleting would, without justification, cause it to fall out of the Historical cats category, where it clearly belongs. --The Editrix 20:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep There are separate articles on just about all of the presidential pets, who are notable just for being presidential pets. I'd hate to lose Misty Malarky Ying Yang. NawlinWiki 20:33, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned above, none of these articles can ever grow beyond the 2 lines, such as "<inser animal name> was a cat/dog/goat/whatever owned by <insert president name.". As such, these should be all merged to List of United States Presidential pets. --Ragib 20:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Socks (cat) and Buddy (dog) are much longer than two lines. On my browser, India (cat) has three. hateless 20:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, in that case, those may deserve articles. But, I don't see what is there to write about *this* cat. I've nominated it for deletion before, but even after it got a reprieve, the article's contents has remained a puny 2/3 lines, with no information that cannot be merged into the List of United States Presidential pets. --Ragib 21:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete as per User:Ragib Matthew Fenton [t/c] 20:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, being a presidential pet is notable, as demonstrated by the fact that people would buy a book written by Millie the Dog. Article length is never a criteria for deletion. hateless 20:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Maybe not, but it is a sign that this article has little to offer which could not be accommodated within another article?Neuropean 21:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into List of United States Presidential pets per WP:BIAS ~ trialsanderrors 23:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per hateless. Presidential pets would appear to be inherently notable, and even if the article never grows beyond a stub, it is potentially useful. bikeable (talk) 01:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom Scented Guano 05:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep - this ios one of a series of anti-cat AFDs put out in bad faith. Robertsteadman 21:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Please strikeout last comment: AGF (also NPOV - editor is creator of a similar cat article which resulted in a merge vote and is looking to strengthen own case).Neuropean 18:31, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Article looks harmless and unbiased. It may need some more references but keep it.--Ageo020 23:57, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into List of United States Presidential pets. It doesn't need a separate article as it will not be expanded. --Musicpvm 04:01, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
