[edit] Waygood

A horse. No claims of having won any sporting events or such, and difficult to verify. WP:CSD A7 covers articles about real people, not animals, so I'm bringing it to AFD. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:51, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete nn horse vanity. --TheMidnighters 08:32, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Indirect vanity on the part of the owners (who have the same name), so Delete. Possibly speedy if WP:CSD applies to non-humans. Winning one very famous race seems a good claim of notability - surely we have human athletes that achieved less - but I can't make up my mind. Given that I probably wouldn't have voted on the article if I'd come across it as it currently stands, I change to Abstain. --Last Malthusian 09:11, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, being a horse isn't notable. And that's pretty much the extent of his claim to fame. - Bobet 10:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable. Kappa 11:17, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks for finding a sporting event which it won. That changes things considerably. Keep. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:36, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless notability can be shown. See list of historical horses for examples of reasons why a horse might be considered to deserve an article - and note that we must set the bar considerably higher than "won a sporting event", because there will be literally millions of horses (and greyhounds, and camels, and snails) that have won sporting events through the ages. Was this a particularly historically-signficant sporting event? Was the win given more than a passing mention in the national press? If so, please provide sources; if not, please show this article the stable door. — Haeleth Talk 22:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Depends on the quality of the race that it won. As the Irish Derby has been going for approximately 140 years [1] and our article states that it is Ireland's most important race, I vote to Keep and expand. I suspect that the horse has won others. Capitalistroadster 22:27, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Sjakkalle. Sam Vimes 23:06, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless some actual evidence of notability -- and winning ONE famous race ain't it -- historical import, influence, superlative, etc. --Calton | Talk 01:28, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete winning one notable race sets the bar too low. Eusebeus 08:08, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
