I'm not convinced this meets WP:NOTABILITY. Is a world record holder, but it's a cow and no particularly extensive coverage. I could find no decent target for redirect/merge. Boleyn (talk) 06:42, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. World record holders are inherently notable as long as the record isn't completely absurd. The record for milk production appears to been of practical importance. The level of coverage is acceptable. Included, in particular, in a book of American epitaphs published several decades after the death of the animal in 1937. I don't see what we stand to gain from deleting this article. James500 (talk) 13:16, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For the avoidance of doubt, I am of the view that this topic does satisfy GNG, which says nothing about "widespread" or "particularly extensive" coverage, whatever that means. GNG refers to multiple sources, meaning two, and we have more than that here. James500 (talk) 12:16, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete World Record holders are not inherently notable. We need widespread coverage in reliable sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:39, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, but ... how about merging and redirecting this article to Holstein Friesian cattle#Famous Holsteins? I don't think that anyone could argue that that would be excessive. James500 (talk) 12:01, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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