Storm Treasure[edit]

does not warrant a Wikipedia article. The horse has won only three minor races, non of which are important races and none are even a Stakes race. It seems more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article.

- Delete An article on a relatively minor horse. Artene50 (talk) 04:28, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep As much as this horse probably doesn't need an article, I've seen cricket players with a single reference of them existing warranting an article. We have non-trivial coverage of this horse's race history and stats and pedigree and stuff. Since its sourcable, I think we gotta keep it. Drunken Pirate (talk) 21:12, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. This doesn't seem terribly notable, similar to the lack of notability attributed to a cricket bat. Besides, this still fails WP:ATHLETE. Simply that we have articles on cricket players above is no reason to keep this one (as that is a logical fallacy and listed in WP:AADD besides). --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 05:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Also note: I relisted this a second time because while I would have loved to close it delete, there didn't seem to be much consensus (still). I could have closed it no consensus, but then I would have had to list it here anyway. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 05:26, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- ?Yeah yeah, I know about WP:AADD, that's not going to stop me from being snarky, but this horse was in the Kentucky Derby, so how does he fail WP:Athlete? Wouldn't that be equivalent to a soccer player playing a match in a premier league and passing WP:Athlete or is there a WP:Horse I don't know about? Wait, there is a WP:Horse but it strangely doesn't seem to be relevant. Drunken Pirate (talk) 06:51, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, I really don't think that animals can qualify for notability under WP:ATHLETE, and altogether a minor horse and without notability if it doesn't qualify under WP:ATHLETE. Nyttend (talk) 19:48, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
