The "cattle judging" process may be notable, however, this article seems to be about "how to" judge cattle, which is against our policy WP:NOTHOWTO. Additionally, this article has been unsourced since 2007. Natg 19 (talk) 21:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The process of judging cattle is highly notable as there are numerous books dedicated to the topic – see above. WP:NOTHOWTO is not a reason to delete because it is a stylistic issue: "an article should not read like a "how-to" style owner's manual, cookbook, advice column (legal, medical or otherwise) or suggestion box. This includes tutorials, instruction manuals, game guides, and recipes." The article is not especially in this style; it just naturally lists the points which cattle are usually judged on. Insofar as the presentation might be improved on, this is done by ordinary editing, not deletion, per policy WP:ATD, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." See also WP:NOTCLEANUP. Andrew🐉(talk) 14:46, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, as per Andrew Davidson, cattle judging is the subject of numerous books.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

  • Keep, without prejudice to a later merger to something like Livestock judging, numerous sources cover the subject but a broader page may be preferable. Cavalryman (talk) 22:14, 28 April 2021 (UTC).[reply]
