[edit] Gracie

Memorial article about a 6 month old dog. An earlier speedy as a non-notable bio has been contested, so it has been brought here. Delete as per Wikipedia is not a memorial. In addition the article has issues with Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources as the only available source is a personal website. --Allen3 ^talk 14:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

As the author of this article i assume i shant be taken objectively, however- Gracie was not just a dog. She was a cultural symbol and a tool for parvo awareness. I believe the speedy deletion as a bio did not take these facts into consideration. I shall attempt to address the other issues, but that is the reason for my reposting. User: Coinman

• Comment. If this is the mascot for Parvovirus why don't they link together in anyway? joshbuddy^talk 15:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I guess I get concerned when a Google search for ""caught being cute" gracie", which should bring up results for the "infamous" posters or at least something about the campaign, yields only 2 results, both the user's only source. Heck, a search for "gracie parvo" brings up more results for other dogs than for this one. --Maxamegalon2000 16:12, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Aparently not even the only Gracie to die of cannine parvo [1]. This seems nn bio to me. joshbuddy^talk 16:32, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:BIO since there isn't a WP:PETS. This is the 3rd poochie AfD I've seen in a couple of weeks. If these sorts of articles increase, maybe we need to discuss animal notability criteria. If perchance this is kept it is in dire need of cleanup.--Isotope23 17:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as rather unverifiable, and likely non-notable per a pets extension of WP:BIO. --Kinu ^t/_c 18:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Im deleting it- as i cant verify sources —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.68.212.240 (talk • contribs) .

• I was kind of disposed to overlook all the delete votes until I read the article. Cultural symbol? All I could see was that the culture was one family, perhaps even one person. Delete.--KJPurscell 07:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
