Hafspajen (talk) 15:41, 14 January 2014 (UTC) Looks like it has an article on Italian Wiki -> https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogo_sardo, Italian ref More ref in ITalian [6][reply]

Comment - Unfortunately, the article on the Italian Wikipedia does not include any references. One of the links you've given is the only ref already included in the article - the others seem to be forums or unreliable sources. SagaciousPhil - Chat 17:59, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Unfortunately, it is a rare breed, so nothing on AKC or FCI. This is what we have, [7] and I hope this will be

OK: [8] Hafspajen (talk) 22:43, 14 January 2014 (UTC) And a lot of Italian newspaper articles on the dog. And I do read Italian even if I speak not so well. Hafspajen (talk) 22:45, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose deletion; the page should probably be a redirect to Pastore Fonnese for now. The breed (or type, since there's nothing to say it's a breed) gets some mentions. It was one of four indigenous Sardinian dogs present at a raduno (a sort of meeting of dog owners, not a show or a trial) at Scano Montiferro. It has a listing on agraria.org, a site that is often quite reliable. However that listing is written by the same person who organised the raduno, so can hardly be regarded as independent confirmation. The newspaper clippings in the YouTube video posted by Hafspajen indeed confirm that the Italian army used Sardinian dogs; however the dogs are described as being the heavy breed of Fonni (i.e., the Fonnese) or light dogs from Ogliastra. Neither of those is the Dogo Sardo, nor did I see the word "dogo" anywhere in those clippings. Until and unless the Regione Sardegna takes an interest in establishing whether or not this is a breed really distinct from the Fonnese, I find it hard to justify an independent article. It is disappearingly unlikely that it will get ENCI recognition unless the region takes the first step. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:28, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Oppose. I agree with Justlettersandnumbers, it should be redirected to Pastore Fonnese for now. Afro-Eurasian (talk) 01:43, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
