Talk:Gerberian Shepsky

December 2019
Apologies for the questionable material. I have removed most of the article and replaced with a stub. The article will get revised and replaced when it meets quality standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg.Hartley (talk • contribs) 23:15, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

George Hoppendale & Asia Moore
Anything created by George Hoppendale and Asia Moore about a dog breed or crossbreed is far from reliable, the pair have retitled a standard book as a "Complete Owners Guide" for every breed or crossbreed imaginable, scroll through the first 15 pages here (that's when I stopped, I'm sure it goes on). Accordingly I have removed the book as a source. Cavalryman (talk) 23:55, 28 September 2020 (UTC).

Notability
Hello, I have looked and cannot find sufficient coverage in reliable sources to establish notability of this as an independent article, the single source for the crossbreed that we do have (and it is not great) is already used to cite the cross at List of dog crossbreeds and it does not provide WP:SIGCOV. The FBI article falls well short, it does not even mention the portmanteau. Unless you have access to additional sources, can I suggest you return this article to a redirect?

 * Sure ...I'll have a look and will return it as you say if I can't find anything either. If you know of any reputable websites or books, please let me know. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:09, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * All of the best books that discuss dog crossbreeds (that I know of) are included at List of dog crossbreeds, unfortunately none mention this cross. Regards, Cavalryman (talk) 06:45, 29 September 2020 (UTC).

Did you know nomination

 * Based on the cited reference, no the dog wasn't a "Gerberian Shepsky". A GERman siBERIAN SHEPherd huSKY - the name is dubious. As per WP:REDFLAG, "Any exceptional claim requires multiple high-quality sources". The WP:NOTABILITY of this topic is not being met, and there does not appear to be WP:RELIABLE sources providing significant coverage per WP:SIGCOV. William Harris (talk) 23:49, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree someone just made up that name but a Google search indicates it is obtaining traction so it may indeed be the common name for this mix. Someone has to name new things and sometimes those names stick. There does appear to be a logic to it. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:32, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * This is the English-speaking world's online encyclopedia and a search of the rubbish on the internet does not cut it. We do not create articles based on what someone proposes on the internet, or on what someone believes might be the way of the future. Where are the WP:RELIABLE sources that use this name?
