[edit] Moortje

Does notability extend to pets and relatives?Neuropean 17:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep probably one of the most famous cats in history and mentioned in one of the most famous and widely read books of all time. If video game characters warrant space then so does an extremely famous feline. There are pages about Bill Clinton's cat Socks, exist and Samuel Johnson's Hodge the Cat and, of course, Mohammed's cat Muezza.

NOTE Neuropean is a brand new user (?) and their second edit (first was setting up their user page) is to nominate this page for deletion. This seems highly unlikely (plus their knowledge of such things as AGF - I wonder if an admin could look into this? Robertsteadman 17:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The 3 other examples cited actually influenced culture in some form, be it popular/literary/religious. ccwaters 18:39, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

AGF Please.Neuropean 17:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

If we allow this, then we have to also allow each child of a notable person to have their own article. The cat 'may' be famous but merge this into the Ann Franke page please.Neuropean 17:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Speedy close - So why have you AfDed this if you want to merge? I suggest a speedy close and the debate to be opened on the talk page about how t merge and its effect. If the nominator has changed his mind in ten minutes between nominating and adding the above there seems no point in an AfD.... Robertsteadman 19:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Coment - and for further information Anne Frank's family all have separate articles as do others mentioned in the diary... so why not the cat? Robertsteadman 19:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and Redirect - I am happy that this is encyclopaedic but there is insufficient material for it to be worthy of its own entry. A Merge/redirect to the main Anne Frank article will preserve the reference whilst allowing it to be read in context. It would also be easier for the less informed reader to find.
