:::So you're saying that the article needs references? Because I don't think anyone is arguing that; no amount of sources one way or another is going counters the arguments expressed here, since it was not about lack of sourcing. The rescue tag's purpose is for when the reasons deletion proposed can probably be countered not simply because an article could use more references. The other uses of the rescue template, as listed on the ARS page, clearly don't apply here either. If you think the article could be improved by the addition of more sourcing, feel free to add the appropriate tag.--[[User: Yaksar|Yaksar]] [[User talk: Yaksar|(let's chat)]] 07:50, 16 November 2011 (UTC) |

per WP:NOTNEWS. This is sad and all, but there really isn't any chance of this having any sort of enduring notability, impact, or coverage. Yaksar (let's chat) 20:02, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
- Keep - Surpassing WP:GNG: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Significant coverage in reliable sources. Northamerica1000(talk) 22:04, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, it got covered. And in 2 weeks it won't anymore. No enduring notability at all. About the same situation as the coverage of that woman claiming to have a baby with Justin Bieber, or that video of little girls covering Nicki Minaj.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:19, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

- Delete. WP:NOTNEWS. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 00:24, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- Delete. This doesn't have any lasting notability. At most this should be a 1-2 sentence addition to the John F. Kennedy International Airport, but I'm not sure it really merits that. It's a sad story but in about a month nobody will really remember this. Jack is not as memorable an animal as say, Marley or Dewey. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:39, 12 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
- Keep/merge It's not clear whether this cat will be remembered but it doesn't matter because notability does not expire and the point of Wikipedia is to inform readers of things that they don't know, not things that they do. There are lots of similar cats on the List of cats and the worst case seems to be that we would just merge this one onto that list per our editing policy. Warden (talk) 07:30, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know if comparing this article to the unreferenced mush that makes up List of cats is really a strong argument. Do we really want to say something should be kept because it's similar to elements of an article that includes the deliciously unreferenced section "Famous pets of other famous people"?--Yaksar (let's chat) 11:19, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- Delete in the spirit of WP:BLP1E: he's not a person or alive, but this article needs to be deleted for the same WP:NOTNEWS reasons that we delete cases of BLP1E. Nyttend (talk) 22:53, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- Keep - per extensive coverage in reliable sources easilly passing WP:GNG. BLP1E does not apply; as even delete voters seem to admit, the cat is neither a person nor alive. FeydHuxtable (talk) 10:59, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- But in the spirit of BLP1E it's even less significant. A person involved in an event with this little importance or impact would absolutely not get an article; the idea that a cat should be treated to an even less strict standard seems absurd.--Yaksar (let's chat) 19:46, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- merge to John F. Kennedy International Airport. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:26, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Strong Keep The sources presented easily pass GNG. This is more than 1 Event. 1. Disappearance 2. Missing 3. Discovery 4. Passing. Jack doesn't need coverage in 2 weeks, Notability has been established and WP:NTEMP. CallawayRox (talk) 19:01, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- That's...quite a stretch. But at this point it looks like this article has been incorrectly rescue tagged for long enough to canvass out the usual flock of keep !voters, so I doubt it will end in anything but a no consensus. A renomination in a couple months when it will be easier to see the lack of enduring notability may be best, though.--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:25, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Comment: Isn't is awesome that we have a category of "individual cats" on wikipedia? RIP, Jack.--Milowent • hasspoken 21:45, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Addition: Originally I thought this was ridiculous, but the coverage of this cat/incident is amazingly comprehensive. I see no benefit from deleting it really. In 50 years, yes, people will remember this and want to look it up. Just like people today will look up events from 50 years ago. If you don't believe me, read up on things like Francine Gottfried.--Milowent • hasspoken 21:59, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- While I find it ridiculous to call this multiple separate events, I do see the benefit in waiting longer to see the extent of continued coverage. Depending on the results here, perhaps a renomination in a couple months may be best,--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:04, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Comment - I also think that this topic has enduring notability. Northamerica1000(talk) 22:48, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Comment - See WP:NTEMP, "Notability is not temporary". Northamerica1000(talk) 13:11, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Note - At this point, the use of the rescue tag has been contested. Please do not re-add it without discussing your rationale first, and ideally after reading up on when it should be used (right here).--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:27, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Contested, my ass. Its a legitimate use. I am re-adding it, and I rarely add the tag to anything. Why? Because the article is clearly subject to additional improvement through the adding of sourcing. There are many sources and editorials that discuss this little 'ol cat. Alerting editors that the article can be improved through rescue processes is legitimate.--Milowent • hasspoken 06:24, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Because I don't think anyone is arguing that; no amount of sources one way or another is going counters the arguments expressed here, since it was not about lack of sourcing.

- Keep, more than just a cat, a campaign. Documented in reliable sources. JORGENEV 07:03, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Keep Ample coverage already found. In books published about famous cats, this one will surely be featured with the rest one day. Books about the airport's history might include an entry about this also. Dream Focus 16:03, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
