Article about a non-notable dog. Should be speedily deleted, but CSD templates repeatedly removed. Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 17:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is an article that describes a dog with cultural significance for the greater Metro-Atlanta area. Upcoming feature piece in the AJC details his significance to the youth of the city. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scallahan2 (talk • contribs) 17:55, 13 September 2010 (UTC) — Scallahan2 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Speedy delete as vandalism/abuse of Wikipedia. Pichpich (talk) 18:32, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't think this is vandalism, it is just good faith creation of a non-notable subject imo.—Chris!_c/t 18:40, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh come on. The dog "is loved by approximately 3/4 of the population of Georgia". That's not good faith creation. It's kids having fun. Pichpich (talk) 18:53, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete A7, not notable; can't find any secondary sources—Chris!_c/t 18:36, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete and salt. No brainer. Carrite (talk) 22:29, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per everyone. Edward321 (talk) 02:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It might be worth noting that while this article was created by Chickentender69, the CSD templates were removed by a different user account, Scallahan2. Both users' editing histories are essentially limited to this article (Quiner), although a previous article, Quiney, created by Scallahan2 was previously deleted (presumably the same subject matter). A cynical observer might suppose there was a link between Chickentender69 and Scallahan2, and that the posting and removal of CSD template duties were being distributed between socks to sidestep the Speedy deletion process.

Delete; the article claims notability, though I think that claim is dubious (3/4 of Georgia? really?). But that's why it's at AFD. For my part, I can't find any sources that show anything approaching notability, nor can I substantiate much of the article. The sock issue is a separate one, though worth exploring.

Comment That puppy is soooooo cute, and named after one of my favorite philosophers. I cannot bring myself to vote to delete him. However that appears inevitable.Greg Bard (talk) 21:18, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Greg, Quiner means a lot to the greater metro Atlanta area. With such a unique face with such a unique, uplifting story about triumph over adversity, he has really been a beacon of hope to the people, espeically the children, of Midtown. Let's do the right thing and let this heavily celebrated pug keep his place in the public spotlight on the internet. After all, he has his own place in the public of Atlanta and it is deep within our hearts.

Delete, too much cute in the world already. No signs of notability, probably hoax. --Nuujinn (talk) 00:03, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Probable hoax. Completely unverified, nothing at all found at Google, written in a facetious tone suggesting hoax. --MelanieN (talk) 14:03, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article is a joke. Drewbug (talk) 00:05, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
