[edit] Adam (cat)

Adam (cat) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable animal. Fails WP:N and the spirit of WP:BIO1E. Jfire (talk) 06:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Remarkably non-notable, doesn't seem to meet WP:RS. I see articles get speedied every day that have more reason to remain than this. Accounting4Taste:talk 08:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, a WP:HOLE case. Punkmorten (talk) 08:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Clearly, this cat is an important figure in the Santa Rosa area. The editors left out a couple important links: Adam's Corner at Forgotten Felines] (included, but mistitled), Petition to the D.A., The D.A.'s Response, and another pro-Adam site. Thomasmallen (talk) 08:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, a single cruel act against an animal does not confer notability. WP:NOT#NEWS. --Dhartung | Talk 10:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, cruelty against animals is sadly all too common. Poor Adam is not notable in that respect. Lankiveil (talk) 11:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
• Delete -- nothing particularly notable about this case to warrant an encyclopedia article. Additional note: this was a disputed prod. Editor who removed the prod tag gave this as the reason for doing so: "Fail. No witty jokes or comments. Just fail." -- MisterHand (Talk to the Hand|Contribs) 14:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm sure that Adam is a very good kitty, and I'm glad he survived, but not many cats are notable enough to have an entry here. Morris the Cat is probably one of the very few exceptions to the rule. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete As per above reasons, and article is non-notable. Ohmpandya (Talk) 22:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. We don't have an article on Andrex the piglet, although he made the national news [1], nor on - er - a couple of the more notorious examples of this type of abuse that I'll refrain from mentioning - and Adam, cute though he may be, hasn't achieved the same level of notability. Tevildo (talk) 17:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
• Everyone except the Thomas dude is a idiot. Go do your damn research. If he's not notabl;e, then go delete all pages of kidnapped children. He's just as notable, if not more notable, as them. Keep. Sokuri (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• I would support the deletion of all such articles. Being victim of a crime is not automatic grounds for notablilty. Tevildo (talk) 22:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
• I would like to remind you at this time, Sokuri, that we have a policy here at Wikipedia to not make any personal attacks, and by extension, calling everyone involved with the AFD for this article an idiot, such as what you did above. Calling me and everyone else an idiot will not prove your point, and won't win people to your side. Also, I feel it prudent to refer you to WP:ALLORNOTHING and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - just because of the abducted children (which you don't cite, by the way) are on here, doesn't mean the cat should be. Unless you can prove notability of this feline, my !vote stands. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
