Notability[edit]

Well, wikipedia guidelines for notability don't say much, and I wouldn't propose for deletion an article that is currently on DYK, but do we really need articles about every dog that wins a show, no matter how important the show? And frankly, that it sleeps next to its owner's toilet is setting a new record for irrelevant pieces of news. I personally think this, and every other article of this type, should go for speedy deletion--and mind, I love dogs--but I'll leave the matter open for discussion in case more experienced editors think otherwise.

I agree with the spirit of your post, but the article seems to meet the GNG by sources such as the Times reference (nr. 12), so I removed the tag. Ucucha 14:11, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't have created the article without independent referencing. Regardless of the subject, it needs an independent reference to prove notability and this has been discussed both at multiple AFD discussions and on the talk page of WP:Notability and has been agreed to be the case. Regards the toilet, the idea of a Did you know is to create an interesting thought provoking hook to bring someone to the page. If this wasn't the case then I would have used a hook highlighting the numbers of the breed in the UK, but I thought the toilet thing was more eye catching.

Let me get this straight: every living being that happens to be mentioned in passing in the Times or any other magazine automatically meets notability criteria and an article detailing his/her/its sleeping habits? In other words any mention automatically grants notability, and notability automatically grants that no piece of information on the subject is irrelevant? Complainer (talk) 22:34, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What grants notability is "significant coverage", such as a full article about this dog, something quite distinct from being "mentioned in passing". I quite agree that the sleeping habits are rather peripheral. Ucucha 22:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is all fully documented at WP:Notability, and the discussion is at Wikipedia talk:Notability#Notability of Specific Dogs. Miyagawa (talk) 23:16, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
