This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Animal. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Animal|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Animal.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Fails the notability guideline for organisations. PROD contested, citing four sources which, upon investigation, all turned out to contribute nothing to notability:
- Parade, CMT and People are puffy tabloid pieces based on a press release (People is the most honest/shameless about this:
"It was such an unexpected major expense at an already tough time," Lambert, 36, said in a press release.
) They don't even cover Waggle beyond the barest of passing mentions; they're about a separate fund Miranda Lambert set up in partnership. - The Day a local Connecticut newspaper writing about a local business, exactly the sort of coverage WP:AUD excludes from notability considerations.
These sources are so flimsy I am honestly a bit ticked off that the PROD was contested. – Teratix ₵ 15:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete - this does not pass GNG. The Day is a moderately-sized regional paper that can count towards notability for some topics, but local-interest pieces like this do not. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:54, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

No indication of notability outside of the college. I am unable to find significant discussion of this mascot in independent sources. ... discospinster talk 03:02, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect or merge to Reed College. Sources are not independent. Neocorelight (Talk) 06:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:HEY, good sources improvements have been added and made since the nomination. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:53, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

- Keep per above. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:34, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. In addition to sources added last week, I've listed more potential sources to the article's Talk page (in decreasing order of value for notability), in the event others might want to add more text. Article clears the bar for WP:GNG. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 22:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Only managed to find trivial mentions of the breed being included in lists of banned breeds, I did ask on Wikiproject Guatemala about possible Spanish sources but I've realised that the project is quite inactive. I'm hoping someone familiar with Spanish will be able to confirm if general notability is met with Spanish sources or not. If notability cannot be established I'm in favour of a redirect to list of dog breeds Traumnovelle (talk) 02:47, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I feel that this AfD might result in a soft delete as a result of expiring.
