Talk:Hollister's lion

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because this name actually exists outside Wikipedia: Leo1pard (talk) 13:01, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

An entry in a dictionary is NOT a notable publication. This is just a single lion dead since about 100 years. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 13:05, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * This is not single. Leo1pard (talk) 13:07, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * This page does not explain ANYTHING about this lion, but ONLY contains a redirect. So the page is superfluous. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 13:12, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Wrong, it does, such as that it is from the "Sotik Plains", and that Theodore Roosevelt shot on of these lions. Leo1pard (talk) 13:15, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * The page this one redirects to, explains this circumstance. But NOT this superfluous page proposed for deletion!!


 * This is a redirect to a page with the relevant information, not an article. Leo1pard (talk) 13:24, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Exactly : ONLY a redirect page without ANY relevant info. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 13:27, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * No, redirects are supposed to be linked to pages that have the information, not contain the information themselves. Leo1pard (talk) 13:43, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Should the case happen that a user searches for the words 'Hollister's lion' in wikipedia, s/he will anyway be given a choice of articles and filenames that contain these words. So a redirect page is UNnecessary. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 13:51, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * No, Hollister's lion should be specifically for one article that contains the relevant information. Leo1pard (talk) 13:54, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

As mentioned already in the equally superfluous page 'Sotik lion' : Wikipedia is NOT an index for lion individuals, and less so for dead ones, of which only a taxidermy skin remains somewhere in the cellars of a museum collection. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 14:00, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * That does not apply to what you have done elsewhere. Leo1pard (talk) 14:05, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
