[edit] Lhasa poo

Lhasa poo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested prod. User claimed that there were over 800 Google news hits of reliable sources for the article, but provided none as a citation. Articles should never be kept simply because they passed a Google test. While poodle hybrids as a type are very notable, this breed specifically is not, failing the test of "significant coverage" as defined in WP:N. As a side note: the breed is probably recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Association. I find that, considering the sole qualification for recognition is a $5 fee, this is not a reliable source affirming notability. Propose that the article is deleted and redirected to poodle hybrids.

• Delete and redirect to poodle hybrids. Not notable on its own. Realkyhick 17:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to poodle hybrids, but don't delete to maintain history. This site does state that "This hybrid cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club," but that's really the only site I could find that isn't there for the sole purpose of advertising dogs or breeders. 2 of the sites in Google's top 10 on "Lhasa Poo" were domain holders or disabled. Doesn't really seem to be notable, as notability requires significant coverage in reliable sources, implying more detail, more reliability, and more sources period.

• Redirect to poodle hybrid. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) (The Game) 22:26, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge. Close call. Having looked at the sources I think the breed is notable, but not so notable that it needs its own article. If someone were able to point to more significant coverage, I'd move to keep. --TheOtherBob 13:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
