Sunny (dog)

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

This is a serious example of WP:TRIVIA. If it belongs anywhere at all it is in Portuguese Water Dog as a passing mention. Fiddle Faddle 23:11, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

keep for now per Bo (dog), but if it cannot be expanded in a week or so, then delete (or merge the two). Frietjes (talk) 23:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is news out there, but a lot of it mirrors itself. Frietjes is right, in that it has the potential for expansion, as there is even talk about it that isn't, "Hey, this exists!" Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We currently have a category with 19 articles about U.S. presidential pets, including a Billy, a Pygmy Hippopotamus given to Calvin Coolidge, that lived until 1955. One editor's opinion that an article topic is "trivia" is not a valid deletion argument, as it is clear that WP:GNG has already been met in this case.

I agree. We have to realize that WP is used by both adults and children and I think the latter would be very interested in know what pets the Obamas have. If we have articles for other Presidential pets, why delete this particular one? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:19, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I didn't know there were articles for Presidential pets. So, I guess that if the Hippo and the cutie kitty have articles Sunny deserves her own. Miss Bono^[zootalk] 20:24, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep: The nominator is misusing WP:Trivia, which is used for lists and sections in lists and not for articles. Since the nominator cannot make a relevant, policy-oriented nomination, this AfD qualifies as a Speedy Keep. Individual articles on presidential pets are based on WP:SIGCOV and on reliable sources. This article makes a good start with the use of several Christian Science Monitor articles -- It's a start.Crtew (talk) 05:14, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep I cannot believe there is a discussion on deleting this article. A lot of presidential pets have articles. Why should this one be any different? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.120.119 (talk) 19:00, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge This page and Bo (dog) should be merged into one page. [Soffredo] 05:26, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To me, that's s strange recommendation. Do you also favor merging Barney (dog) and Miss Beazley (dog) as well? Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:59, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

or the Coen brothers. Frietjes (talk) 16:10, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If Bo has a page, so should Sunny! Bo's page is actually quite lengthy so Sunny's might need some more work. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:16, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
