 * Symbol question.svg Do you think it would be worth briefly mentioning how the two breeds are similar? Mattythewhite (talk) 20:07, 2 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The article notes they are both gray and from the same region in France.  Montanabw (talk) 20:23, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

 * That seems fine, but I think it'd be best to wait until the potential merger is concluded before passing this nomination. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:55, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no objection to this running as a DYK even though a merge discussion is going on, those things can go on for weeks, and I don't object to seeing some more traffic going to this page even with a discussion over merging.  Montanabw (talk) 18:00, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Let's hold off a bit. I don't feel comfortable promoting the article given the points made in the merge discussion to date; at DYK we tend to delay at least a little while in similar circumstances. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:10, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg If this article does survive, new hooks will be necessary. Since the breeds are no longer distinct—my understanding from the merger discussion is that the Augeron, among others, were subsumed into the Percheron in the 1960s—to say "is similar" in the hook is highly misleading. Further, for the article to fail to mention the current status of the Augeron breed is enough, in my opinion, to cause the article to run afoul of DYK's WP:DYKSG: "Articles that fail to deal adequately with the topic are also likely to be rejected."

 * The nominator seems to no longer be involved and consensus is to merge. However, as Percheron is a Featured Article, we need to review the new article content carefully so as to not set up Percheron for a FAR.   Montanabw (talk) 22:09, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
