Talk:List of Bulldogs in popular culture

Original List
Moved the list from main article Bulldog. The list was getting out of control and was not encyclopedic in content pertaining to the main article. -asmadeus 17:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Requested move
List of Bulldogs in popular culture → List of bulldogs in popular culture — I don't think "bulldog" is ordinarily capitalized, and apparently neither does the Columbia Encyclopedia. But the Bulldog page itself is inconsistent on the matter... zenohockey 02:11, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I think that the merging of this page to Bulldog precludes the necessity of the request, so I'm removing its listing from Requested moves. Dekimasu よ! 10:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Prod removal
The prod I had placed on this article was removed by an editor who commented that some of the bulldogs in the list are notable enough to have their own articles, and are thus notable enough to be part of a list. This makes some sense to me; in that case, I suggest taking out all of the bulldogs that are only listed through associative notability. That would leave a very short list, which it would make sense to merge back into the article Bulldog. Any comments? Dekimasu よ! 03:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Being somewhat lenient, the whole list would look something like this (the mascots were removed because they are dealt with in a separate section on the Bulldog page):
 * Hector the Bulldog and Spike the Bulldog are animated cartoon characters in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons.
 * Marc Antony, an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons.
 * Spike, Tom's nemesis in the theatrical cartoon series Tom and Jerry. Sometimes Spike had a puppy, his son Tyke.
 * Butch, Droopy Dog's nemesis in the theatrical Droopy Dog cartoons.
 * Cyril, the titular bulldog in Connie Willis' Victorian time-travel comedy, To Say Nothing of the Dog.
 * A bulldog named Regi starred in the feature film About a Dog starring Ian Dickinson, the world-famous dog expert. Regi played a dog named Sprinkles with two dog-mad rivals fighting over Sprinkles' love.


 * Definitely a good candidate to be merged. Dekimasu よ! 03:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't want to claim that every bulldog that has ever appeared on TV is worth being included on the list. But it seems like the threshold for inclusion on the list should be lower than for having an article. At the very least, those that could have an article, but don't, should be allowed. Frankly, I'd rather leave it to bulldog-in-popular-culture specialists to decide what belongs here. Joeldl 04:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Did I take out any that could have an article, but don't? I left three or four in, and I don't think there could possibly be an article on any of the others. As noted by my original prod tag, I'd honestly rather not leave it up to bulldog-in-popular-culture specialists. Dekimasu よ! 06:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You can make the judgment if you have a sense of which ones are important. Your list is fine by me. Joeldl 07:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Went through with the merge. Dekimasu よ! 10:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
