[edit] Cats Indoors!

Cats Indoors! (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non notable subject. Google hits return two relevant articles, while the others are probably a form of a google bomb. (Note that google splits up search words, so cats and indoors attract their own articles) Lack of third party sources to assert notability. Delete Undeath (talk) 11:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

There are some hits on googlenews. Either keep or preferably merge and redirect to American Bird Conservancy--165.21.154.89 (talk) 12:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect to American Bird Conservancy, per 165.21.154.89. Not notable enough for an article. Also, its title should be Cats Indoors!. Think outside the box 13:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • BOLD MERGE and REDIRECT At an effort to be WP:BOLD I felt this was a snowball merge redirect and did the merge and indicated the redirect on the Cats Indoors article. If you feel that this should not have been done, please feel free to revert my edits. Otherwise, feel free to close this AfD. --Pmedema (talk) 13:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge The project isn't especially notable. BJTalk 15:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge. The project itself isn't really notable, but it's part of a larger movement. Ketsuekigata (talk) 02:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep The article complies with the guidelines for a stand alone article. The preemptive merge shows that Cats Indoors is already a larger than the origional ABC article. --WikiCats (talk) 06:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment - The merge has been completed because by it self it fails WP:N. It does have some substance to allow it into the main parent article which is why I just did the merge. This article does not need it's own article but a "redirect" to the parent article. --Pmedema (talk) 13:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Does the guidelines include WP:N, WP:V and WP:RS?--165.21.154.94 (talk) 05:54, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

This is a third party source to Cats Indoors: http://felineresistance.com/cats_indoors.shtml also

and many more. --WikiCats (talk) 12:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


On the subject of notability, Cats Indoors has been around since 1997 and has been mentioned in over 100 newspaper articles. It should not disappear on the basis of "not notable enough" or a flawed Google search. --WikiCats (talk) 11:52, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment. Article has been renamed Cats Indoors!. I've also added an {{expand}} tag to the article.B.Wind (talk) 05:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
