RuPawl[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Poorly sourced biography of a dog, whose only discernible claim of notability is having a bit of a social media following because her owner posts pictures of her dressed up as RuPaul's Drag Race personalities. Of the sources present here, half of them are primary sources (the dog's own website, sources affiliated directly with RPDR) and two more are to a blog -- leaving just two reliable sources (Attitude and Get Leashed), both of which are really just photo galleries wrapped by mere blurbs worth of actual text content about the dog. Basically, none of this is a substantive reason for an encyclopedia article to exist, or a viable pass of WP:GNG -- if the dog were a human we'd be deleting this as a WP:BLP1E, so I don't see a compelling reason to treat it differently just because she's a dog. (And no, this is not a cats vs. dogs thing. I love dogs.) Bearcat (talk) 00:41, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events" and this also applies to dogs. This is a bunch of silly stories over 2 weeks or so. If the dog gets a long-lasting career and continuing media coverage, reinstate the article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:02, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, WP:TOOSOON at best. Definitely does not meet WP:SUSTAINED - GretLomborg (talk) 18:39, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
